Analytical studies of axial load transfert in an interference fit fastener assembly
Résumé
This paper proposes several analytical approaches in a study of interference fit fasteners. The influence of both the friction factor and the interference level on the loss of axial load is investigated. The first approach exploits Lame’s equations as in previous studies while the second approach goes further by exploiting the slab method to obtain differential equations. The two approaches are evaluated and compared through a previously validated axisymmetric FE model using Abaqus.
