DETERMINING LIMIT DISPLACEMENTS IN SPACER PROPPING SINGLE BOLTING
Abstract
Using the existing engineering methodology of designing bolt joints taking up shear loads of dimension chains with gap elements according to N. N. Streletski and other authors’ methodology give similar results, both for the analysis of single bolt joints accuracy and for that of multi-bolt joints. In this article there is considered the affect of gap elements number on the accuracy of multi-bolt joints. There is established the character of the intrinsic errors distribution functions interaction, particularly, limit displacements occurring when mounting single bolt joints, and errors distribution functions determining the accuracy of multi-bolt joints elements mutual orientation. There are considered theoretical schemes of forming setting errors for basic elements in the plane of formed joints for a more complicated case, when shearing forces cause element displacements not obligatory reaching limit values. An analysis of the revealed theoretical schemes for the formation of displacements of the installed elements in the plane of the formed bolted joints shows that the parameters of the displacement distribution are significantly different from the same parameters obtained when calculating dimensional chains with gap units.
