Abstract

This study investigates the vibration behavior of cantilever beams with bolted joints of different lap types (single lap and double lap) under free and forced vibration conditions. The effects of various parameters, including beam configuration, bolt preload, harmonic force magnitude, and force application position, on natural frequency, mode shape, and vibration amplitude are analyzed. Experimental work involved material selection, chemical composition testing, tension tests, beam preparation, and free and forced vibration tests with pre-torque ranging from 6 to 60 N·m and rotational speeds between 300 and 900 RPM. Numerical simulations were performed using the general-purpose finite element software ANSYS 16.1. Results indicate that the natural frequencies of single-lap bolted beams (1 or 2 bolts) are approximately equal to those of intact beams, while double-lap bolted beams exhibit slightly lower natural frequencies than intact beams with the same profile. Increasing bolt preload stabilizes the natural frequency for all beam configurations. For forced vibrations, the amplitude is strongly influenced by the magnitude and position of the applied harmonic force. Validation with experimental results shows good agreement, with a maximum error of approximately 5%.
