The mathematical model described above is solved numerically by the finite element method. Fig. 3 shows the finite element mesh. The elements are based on the quadratic approximation of displacements. The number of nodes in the design scheme is 52491.

4. Comparison of calculations and experimental results

Five samples of flange connections were studied. The results obtained during the first experiments allowed us to make the developed mathematical model more accurate. In particular, the conditions for contact interaction were specified, and corrections to the parameters of constitutive equations were made. The measured and calculated deformation parameters are given below. These data were obtained for the jacks under the action of the external force   F t varying according to the law illustrated in Fig. 2b. Figure 4 shows the time variation of the averaged
