  Stress Analysis of a Mechanical Joint from Recorded Data of a Single Component of Displacement

  By RE Rowlands, R Venkatesh, S Paneerselvam

  Abstract: The ability to fully stress analyze a pinned/bolted aluminum connector, including the contact stresses at the pin-plate interface, using measured displacement information is demonstrated. This is accomplished by using recorded data from only either one or the other of the two in-plane components of displacement. The relatively small pin-hole clearance results in the pin contacting the edge of the hole for an arc distance exceeding 180 degrees. Reliability of experimental …
