Finite Element Mesh Size Optimization for Steel Bolted Connection
Bolted connections are important components of steel structures and they must be based on good design, with analytical descriptions of failure mechanisms that are thoroughly researched. A robust and reliable analytical description of a failure mode requires a large base of results, collected experimentally or numerically, usually via FEA. The modelling procedure in FEM simulations can significantly influence result accuracy, and one of the most important parameters is spatial discretization. Mesh size presents a delicate balance between accuracy, efficiency and convergence issues, especially in bolted connection analysis with contact, material and geometric nonlinearity. Due to increased complexity, sensitivity studies are difficult to interpret and time expensive, which is why in this study a mesh size optimization procedure is presented. This optimization is based on a previously verified and validated numerical model parametric study of a single-bolt lap connection. The first step included forming of an optimization model based on an artificial neural network, through which results were extrapolated and compared to experimental. However, estimated solving wall time was significantly longer. In the second step, a nonlinear optimization model was structured to determine a mesh size for which the difference between experimental and optimization results would be equal, whilst having a minimal solving wall time. The optimization model provided insights into mesh size quality to efficiency ratios and rendered that the minimal difference between experimental and numerical results is 1.57%, while having a solving wall time of 1.3 h, instead of the step one optimization modelling estimated 36 h.
