Abstract

The bolted joint structure is one of the most prevalent forms of connection in mechanical systems, and is instrumental in the assembly of such systems due to its advantages of straightforward disassembly and assembly. This paper proposes an inverse identification method for the material parameters of the virtual layer of the joint interface, taking into account the range of bolt preload force. The Sumali-like bolted joint model is the focus of this research, and the virtual material layer method is employed to model the joint interface with equivalent chemical parameters. Initially, a comparison is made between the experimental and computational modal analysis results. Subsequently, the establishment of a parametric model, the introduction of an objective function, and the execution of multi-objective genetic algorithm-based optimization follows. Finally, the virtual material parameters are solved so as to complete the correction of the simulation parameters of the specimen material. The effects of different preload forces on the virtual material parameters are also discussed. The outcomes demonstrate that the total error of the secondary identification is 7.48%, which is reduced by approximately 59.3% in comparison with the inverse identification. This substantial improvement in accuracy serves to verify the correctness and feasibility of the proposed method.
