Study of Normal Force-Displacement Relationship in Spherical Joints

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to analyze the structural characteristics or calculate the support force of large-scale complex systems with spherical joints, an approximated method was raised simplifying the force of inner bodies to contact pressure with a hypothesis that the contact zones is ideally spherical. The contact pressure distribution is obtained and normal force-displacement relationship is simulated with finite element methods (FEMs). Finally, the goodness of fit is calculated with statistical hypothetical test theory treating the FEM results as the sample data.
