Analysis of Vibration Testing for the Structure with Bolted Flange Joints

Abstract

The test was simulated for the thin-walled cylinder structure of aeroengine stator casing. Based on the software of LMS-TEST, the experiment of the structure with bolted flange joints was successfully completed for the vibration test analysis and the paper completed the testing under different pre-tightening force. Through the analysis of the measured data, the corresponding spectrum and difference value curve were obtained, the research results showed that the nonlinear characteristics of the bolted flange joint was significant influence on the dynamic responses of the structure, the various nonlinear vibration phenomenon and the signal asymmetry were obvious under different pre-tightening force, which was closely related to the state of the bolted pre-tightening force. By the information of the spectrum and acceleration difference curve, the extent of the bolt tightness can be determined, which can provide relevant reference information for the diagnosis of bolted joint status in the aeroengine stator casing.
