Health assessment of a multi-bolted connection due to removing selected bolts

In the paper, experimental studies of an asymmetric preloaded seven-bolted connection are presented. The tightening process of the connection was carried out with a wrench, monitoring the values of the bolt forces with a calibrated strain gauge measuring system. Two methods of bolt tightening were t...
