Abstract
In this study, a finite-element (FE) stress analysis of aircraft structural double-lap bolted joints was performed using the commercially available computational package ANSYS in order to obtain the clamping pressure distribution and to estimate the stiffness of the joined plates (members) within the clamped region. The joint consists of three aluminium alloy 7075-T6 plates clamped by a single bolt, washer, and nut. A three-dimensional (3D) FE...
