Abstract: The performances of calculator and Finite Elements codes enable nowadays to perform low cost and very accurate 3D simulations of thermo-mechanical behavior of pressure equipment. It enables an accurate analysis of the leak-tightness problems. In this paper, we describe flanges, heat exchangers, and valves modeling as examples. Then we present the economical interest of the application of such approach.

Mechanical and thermal behaviors of the bolted joint subjected to thermal load are analyzed using axisymmetric FEM, where the effects of thermal contact resistance at the interface and heat flow through small gaps are taken into account in order to accurately evaluate the variations of bolt preloads. It is expected that the numerical procedure proposed here provides an effective means for estimating the strength of such critical structures as internal combustion engines, pressure vessels, steam and gas turbines, etc. An empirical equation that can compute the thermal contact coefficient at the interface composed of common engineering materials has been proposed in the previous paper. In this study, a simple equation for evaluating the amounts of heat flow through small gaps is shown by defining apparent thermal contact coefficient. A finite element approach has been established by incorporating the aforementioned thermal contact coefficients into the finite element formulation. By use of the FE code, it is shown that among various thermal properties, coefficient of linear expansion has dominant effects on the variations of bolt preloads. The validity of the numerical approach is demonstrated by experimentation.

A bolted joint is frequently used under thermal load in practical applications, such as pressure vessels, internal combustion engines, etc. In order to accurately evaluate the thermal stresses thus produced, the effects of thermal contact resistance at the interface and the heat flow through small gaps, which exist around the objective bolted joint, must be taken into account. In this paper, a numerical approach with high computation efficiency is proposed, where empirical equations for thermal contact coefficient and apparent thermal contact coefficient are incorporated into commercial engineering software. By conducting systematic three-dimensional FE analyses, it is quantitatively elucidated how the supplied heat flows through each part of a bolted joint and how the bolt stress varies with time. Bolted joints made of the materials with low thermal conductivity exhibit specific behaviors on the heat flow pattern around the bolted joint and the variations of axial bolt stress and bolt bending stress.
