Abstract: A bolted connection consisting of a cover on a pressure vessel flange with a metallic flat gasket on raised faces is analyzed as a four-body contact problem using axisymmetrical theory of ...

Abstract: The behavior of a bolted connection, using several aluminum alloy pipe flanges with steel bolts and nuts, was examined under the condition of thermal conduction. Using the finite difference ...

Abstract: Bolted joints in heat exchangers, cylinder heads in combustion engines, and so on are subjected to heat fluxes. It is necessary to examine the mechanical behavior of such bolted joints under ...

Abstract: An experimental and analytical study was made on a bolted connection subjected to thermal loading. The connection consists of an aluminum alloy tapered hub flange and a flat cover, including ...
