Abstract

The lightness of the space and aerospace structures causes their vulnerability to vibrations. The cold temperatures do not allow using polymer materials. Active and semi-active control using piezos embedded on the structure can be used efficiently instead of polymers but they induce energy consumption. Friction damping is less efficient but it does not depend on temperature and it is energetically passive. Unfortunately its efficiency depends on the vibration amplitude as well as on the tightening force. The damping is very low for the lowest amplitudes and the largest tightening loads and increase up to an optimal value. This optimum damping is adjustable thanks to the tightening force. The purpose of our work is to evaluate the efficiency of the control of the tightening force in bolted joints to reduce the vibration of the assembled structure. In the first part, we present a original setup and a very detailed design of experiments that highlights the optimal sets of parameter in order to get a good control of the vibrations according to the frequency and the magnitude of the load. To conclude, we propose to share experimental data with the attendees for further discussions.
