Bolted Joint Stress Field Model (BJSFM) is a common analytical method used to analyze bolted joints in composite airframe structures. This project ports the original fortran code to pure python code using the underlying theory.

    from bjsfm.analysis import MaxStrain
    a_matrix = [[988374.5, 316116.9, 0.],
                [316116.9, 988374.5, 0.],
                [0., 0., 336128.8]]
    thickness = 0.1152
    diameter = 0.25
    analysis = MaxStrain(a_matrix, thickness, diameter)

    # get stresses, strains and displacements at four points around hole
    bearing = [100, 0]  #[Px, Py]
    bypass = [100, 0, 0]  #[Nx, Ny, Nxy]
    analysis.stresses(bearing, bypass, num=4)
    analysis.strains(bearing, bypass, num=4)
    analysis.displacements(bearing, bypass, num=4)

    # plot stresses
    analysis.plot_stress(bearing, bypass)
