Abstract
Bolted joints often have a significant effect on the dynamical behavior of assembled mechanical structures. An accurate model of an
assembled structure depends on correctly determining and identifying the dynamic parameters of bolted joints. This paper presents an
alternative method for identifying these dynamic parameters using structures natural frequency and damping. A novel experiment is
designed with a test piece consisting of only bolted joints, with the governing equations of the test piece established using the analytical
method. The relationships between the equivalent dynamic parameters of the bolted joints and the natural frequencies and damping ratios
of the test piece are determined for both the normal and tangential directions. The parameter identification problem for bolted joints is
thus transformed into a test of the natural frequency and the damping ratio of the test piece. In order to check the accuracy of the pro-
posed identification method, the test piece and bolted joints are modeled using the finite element method (FEM) and the dynamic proper-
ties of the test piece are analyzed. The maximum error between the natural frequencies of the FEM result and the experimental values in
the normal and tangential models are 4.73% and 0.34%, respectively. The result indicates that the proposed method is valid for the dy-
namic parameter identification of bolted joints.
