There is concern that the slip coefficient of high-strength bolted joints with different faying surfaces may be lower than that of conventional joints, and it has been reported that the slip coefficient is improved by inserting friction shims. In this study, shims were modified to be disk-shaped, which can be inserted into each bolt hole, for application to arbitrary bolted joints, and their slip resistance was evaluated by slip resistance tests. As a result, it was confirmed that a slip coefficient of 0.6 or higher could be expected with the insertion of shims. Failure modes of the contact surfaces were also investigated by dismantling the specimens after the test and observing the contact surfaces.

Evaluation of Coating Thickness on Faying Surface in High-Strength Bolted Friction Joints Using Ultrasonic Techniques and Machine Learning

The slip coefficient of bolted joints is influenced by the thickness of inorganic zinc-rich paint applied to the faying surface. However, evaluating this coating thickness without disassembling bolted joints has been a significant challenge. In the ultrasonic approach, the reflection of ultrasonic waves and the resonance phenomenon at the interface are analyzed. By applying machine learning algorithms such as random forests, the characteristics of the reflected ultrasonic signals are analyzed to evaluate the coating thickness. This method first focused on evaluating the coating thickness on the backside of a steel plate, and then evaluated the coating thickness on faying surfaces of bolted joints. This evaluation provides a valuable basis for re-evaluating the structural performance of existing bolted joints according to current slip coefficient standards, enabling more accurate structural maintenance and performance evaluations.
