Longitudinal sliding resistance characteristics of the WJ-8 conventional resistance fastner

Abstract

In this paper, the longitudinal resistance and displacement of the WJ-8 conventional resistance fastener under vertical and torque loadings were experimentally conducted and the relationship between longitudinal resistance and displacement was established. To validate the experimental results, numerical simulation using a finite-element model of the fastener was established to obtain the longitudinal resistance variation of the conventional-resistance. Results of the analysis show that both results of the experiment and simulation are in agreements. Furthermore, the skid resistance frictional coefficient of the fastener system under the vertical load was studied and its variation rule under both vertical and torque loads was obtained. The longitudinal sliding resistance of fasteners under different torques and/or vertical loads followed a linear trend. Under load and no-load conditions, the skid-resistance frictional coefficient of the fastener system varied significantly.
