“…Many experiments and finite element simulations have been carried out to study the mechanical and fatigue performance of bolted joints (Benhamena, Amrouche, Talha, & Benseddiq, 2012;Jiménez-Peña, Talemi, Rossi, & Debruyne, 2017;Juoksukangas, Lehtovaara, & Mäntylä, 2016). Jiménez-Peña, Talemi, Rossi, & Debruyne (2017) investigated the failure mechanism of fretting fatigue in the bolted joints subjected to different levels of pre-tension. Benhamena, Amrouche, Talha, & Benseddiq (2012) studied the effect of contact forces on fretting fatigue behaviour of bolted splice plates.…”

The friction-type bolted joint transfers the internal forces in the structural members by interface friction, but noticeable seasonal temperature and bolt fracture cause the redistribution of interface friction and threaten the joint safety. Therefore, this study carried out finite element analysis on the interface friction considering the influence of seasonal temperature and bolt fracture. Through finite element analysis, the simulation of interface friction under seasonal temperature revealed the distribution of temperature induced interface friction in different areas and locations. Further simulation of fractured bolts revealed the influence of quantity and location of fractured bolts on the redistribution of interface friction. Finally, the interface frictions in the bolted joint were evaluated using limit state equations. The results showed that: 1) the quantity and location of fractured bolts cause obvious redistribution of interface friction in the bolt-fractured areas; 2) the quantity and location of fractured bolts have slight effect on the total interface friction in the whole splice plate; 3) the reduced interface friction in the bolt-fractured areas was transferred to the areas without bolt fracture, producing little change in the total interface friction; 4) all the splice plates had abundant safety margin after analysis of their limit state equations.

“…Van Paepegem et al [24] used bending fatigue rig for composite materials where fretting action can be considered between sample and fixed joint. Notable reviews and experiments were carried out on wear, fatigue [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] as well as fretting fatigue [23,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] However, relatively less on bending accelerated fretting fatigue [22,[50][51][52]. Considering all above mentioned parameters with conditions, some perfect attributes [53] of fretting fatigue test rigs (FFTR) must have Versatility to various dimensions and stiffness of the samples and fretting pads; Possibility to perform different states of load (constant or alternating load); Scope to create fretting fatigue mechanism by recording the information from various tried materials that could be applied to different model to foresee the fatigue life; Accessibility to gauge fretting stresses and strains; Minimal cost of setup to perform a few tests at the same time; Flexibility of load recurrence.…”

Fretting fatigue has emerged as the center of interest for research in recent decades due to its high importance in real application field. Despite this advancement, comparatively few experiments as well as studies have been accomplished on bending fretting fatigue. Researchers either developed new test rigs or accepted a conventional concept since there exists no specific, standalone and standard test rig. However, as it is difficult to compare each work with others, the increasing number of test rigs are not suitable to ensure the justified results under conditional circumstance. This article classified the existing bending fretting fatigue test rigs depending on the variable parameters like fretting and loading actions. It can be mentioned that reciprocating fretting fatigue test rigs have more diversities as compared to rotary fretting fatigue test rigs due to the advantages of variable loading values, displacement controlling, fretting damage pre-determination and other desirable purposes. This article might be useful as a state of art for future contributions of the modern technology in industrial applications.

“…The amount of preload will directly determine the design slip resistance in category B and C shear bolted connections, as indicated by the European standard for the design of joints (Eurocode 3, Part 1-8) [1]. It has been shown that the bolt preload can decrease the stress concentration at the bolted hole region and thus increase the tensile strength of the joint [2], and that it has an effect on the fatigue performance of the connection [3][4][5][6]. Consequently, the estimation of the bolt preload is of special interest to predict structural integrity and residual life-time in bolted assemblies.…”

Bolt preload is one of the most significant parameters in bolted connections, which affects the static and fatigue performance of bolted connections. Traditional preload measuring methods give an estimation of the preload at the moment of tightening but cannot monitor preloading losses. In this investigation an initial proof of concept of a DIC based approach to relate bolt elongation to bolt preload is presented. Bolt elongation tests were performed to M16 bolts and a calibration method was proposed to obtain the bolt preload-elongation relationship for a given clamping length range.
