The main parameters affecting the assembly stress of clamps were derived through theoretical formulas and analyzed. Further more
the factors affecting the assembly stress of the clamps were systematically analyzed and researched by test method. In the test
the effects of bolt tightening torque
loading times
and assembly plans on the stress of the clamps were tested and statistically analyzed by using 3 types of clamps with 5 samples of each type as the test object. According to the research results
the surface of the clamp near the bolt hole was a stress concentration position. The stress of the clamp decreased with the increase of loading times
but the repeated loading times should not be too much
otherwise the local area of the clamp had large deformation and wear. The test results also showed that the method of adding a 2 mm gasket had the best effect on reducing the stress level of the clamp
and the reduction rate can reach 468%. In contrast
the reduction rate was 364% and 286% respectively by means of loading after restricting the displacement of the clamp and the method of correction after loading.
