Influence of shape of joint surface on behavior of bending deformation in jointed structure

Abstract

We have proposed the high accurate FEM analysis of the jointed structure considering the contact stiffness of the joints and made clear the bending deformation behavior of the structure with flat joint surface. In this paper, we will consider the influence of the shape error of the joint surface on the bending deformation behavior of the jointed structure, since the joint surface generally has a flatness deviation.
