Summary
In this paper, a modeling strategy is proposed in order to identify the behavior of a
two-node finite element connector. This connector is substituted for a complex three-dimensional
bolted joint. A first connector model has been proposed and implemented
in a user-element subroutine in ABAQUS CAE. Connector model identification was
performed on an elementary single bolt joint under tensile and compressive loads. The
result is a fine scale three-dimensional computation obtained using a mixed domain
decomposition method which shares similar features with the augmented Lagrangian
formulation in order to efficiently account for frictional contact conditions. It is shown
that the dissipated energy as well as the cumulated displacement jumps between the
parts of the assembly are in good agreement with the three-dimensional numerical
simulation.
