Analysis of Additional Load and Fatigue Life of Preloaded Bolts in a Flange Joint Considering a Bolt Bending Load

The influence of the working load on the dynamic loading of the bolt was investigated in our study for two cases of flange joints. The analytical calculation according to the Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI) 2230 recommendation and the numerical analysis using the finite element method (FEM) were p...
