ABSTRACT
In this paper, the load distribution of a bolt connection structure with a variable thread
profile at high temperature is investigated. The parameters of time-hardening creep model
of aluminum alloy at high temperature were obtained by fitting the uniaxial creep tensile
test data of aluminum alloy at 250◦C. Based on ABAQUS, a two-dimensional axisymmetric
model of the bolt connection structure was established, and according to the thread load
distribution considering linear elasticity, plasticity and creep characteristics, modification
of standard metric thread profile was carried out. The load distribution law of the thread
of the modified bolt connection structure were investigted. The results show that the load-
-bearing ratio of the first thread can be significantly reduced and the load-bearing distribu-
tion uniformity of all threads can be improved when the modified thread is applied to the
bolt connection structure.
