SummaryThe nonlinear transfer behaviour of an assembled structure such as a large lightweight space structure is caused by the nonlinear influence of structural connections. Bolted or riveted joints are the primary source of damping compared to material damping, if no special damping treatment is added to the structure. Simulation of this damping amount is very important in the design phase of a structure. Several well known lumped parameter joint models used in the past to describe the dynamic transfer behaviour of isolated joints by Coulomb friction elements are capable of describing global states of slip and stick only.The present paper investigates the influence of joints by a mixed experimental and numerical strategy. A detailed Finite Element model is established to provide understanding of different slip-stick mechanisms in the contact area. An advanced lumped parameter model is developed and identified by experimental investigations for an isolated bolted joint. This model is implemented in a Finite Element program for calculating the dynamic response of assembled structures incorporating the influence of micro- and macroslip of several bolted joints.
