Abstract: During the initial phase of machine tool design and manufacturing, accurate prediction of dynamic characteristics is essential for ensuring the reliability of high-end CNC equipment. However, conventional multi-body dynamics and finite element methods encounter substantial challenges in effectively and precisely analyzing the system's dynamic performance, owing to its substantial scale and intricate structural complexity. Moreover, this type of machine tool incorporates numerous nonlinear bolted joints, whose influence cannot be neglected. To study the dynamic characteristics of the heavy-duty machine tool-foundation system(HDMTFS), considering the influence of bolted joints, the spatial hinge transfer matrix of stiffness in X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry and Rz directions is introduced. Based on the transfer matrix method for the multi-body system(MSTMM), a dynamic model of the HDMTFS that is more in line with engineering is established. The model enables comprehensive analysis of both the machine tool system’s free vibration characteristics and the impact of performance degradation in critical bolted joints on the overall dynamic behavior. By identifying system vulnerabilities, it provides essential theoretical foundations for reliability-oriented design of bolted connections in the heavy-duty machine tool.
