BJE: Engineering Robust, Reliable, Bolted Joints

Analytical Approach & Capability

BJE’s Unique Process:

 

A Statistical Approach:

 BJE calculates joint capacity for potential failure modes using a monte-carlo approach to quantify variability of input factors and simulate a realistic distribution curve of the joint performance.

 

The Right Tools:

We have the analytical tools to support assessment of even multi-component joints and to iterate on design options in a timely manner to define the optimum joint configuration for your application.

 

Experience and Expertise:

Areas of expertise include clevis joints, wheel attachment, multi-component joints, and cone nuts applications.  Analytical solutions include: torque specification, clamp load, bolt stretch, clevis closure, nub embedment, component yield, relaxation, shear and axial path loads, shear and axial capacity,  bolt fatigue life, and bolt pattern efficiency.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Design of robust and reliable bolted joints requires a statistically quantified understanding of the impact and interactions of  variations in:

 

· Geometry

· Material

· Manufacture

· Assembly

· Loads &

· Environment

 

Maximum value occurs when joints are optimized early in the design cycle, prior to hardware availability.
