- Title
VISUALIZATION OF CONTACT AREAS IN BOLTED JOINTS USING ULTRASONIC WAVES.
- Authors
Pau, M.; Baldi, A.; Leban, B.
- Abstract
The article presents an experiment which examines the visualization of contact areas in bolted joints using ultrasonic waves (UW). The study includes tests on bolted joints characterized by different values of applied torque, and the ultrasonic results were compared using fuji prescale pressure-sensitive film. It is also mentioned that ultrasonic waves is a useful tool to supply information about the contact status of bolted joints. Several illustrations and diagrams about the bolted joints and the experimental results are also presented to support the study.
