The new and extra chapter 5 deals with hydraulic, friction- and torsion-free tensioning with bolt tensioning cylinders. The system and process design of FEM calculation in general where updated as well, which are defined in VDI 2230 part 2.
The calculations now consider special conditions of relative strength, bending loads and torsion loads of single bolt connections.įor this update new insights were used which came from a FEM-calculation (Finite element method). The updated part 1 also includes a higher level of precision designing of single bolt connections (ESV). In this case designers need to idenfify the one bolted joint, which is subjected to the highest stresses.Īfter that this one bolt connection can be calculated according to the definition in part 1. NEW: Part 2 focuses on the systematic calculation of multiple bolt connections (MSV). Lori gave both competent and first-hand information, as the print-version of the VDI 2230 will be released not until December 2014. No wonder: This guideline VDI 2230 contains fundamental calculations, methods and rules for the technical design of bolted joints.ĭr. This topic and more lectures about the calculation, control and design of bolted joints found a very positive response by nearly 80 participants from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Denmark.
