Firstly, the effects of thread pair clearance on the bolted joints loosening process was analyzed theoretically. And subsequently, the mathematical equation of the internal and external thread profiles with thread pair clearance was built, the internal and external thread mesh models and the thread retract groove mesh model were developed by using the thread modeling method proposed by Fukuoka. Thereafter, the stress distributions in the bolted cross-section and the bearing surface of the bolted joints were analyzed, and the effects of the vibration amplitude and the thread pair clearance on the loosening angle of bolt and nut were discussed. The impacts of the thread pair clearance on the loosening failure characteristics with amplitude of 0.5 mm or preload of 12 kN were verified by test in the end. The results showed that the finite element model of the bolted joints with thread pair clearance was more realistic to the engineering practice. And the slippage of the thread surface was more serious with the increase of the thread pair clearance under same conditions, and the contact force between the bolt bearing surface and the lower plate became more unstable, which resulted in the acceleration of the bolt loosening. Appropriately reducing the thread pair clearance was conducive to anti-loosening, the thread pair clearance was reduced by 0.08 mm, and the loosening rate of the bolted joints was reduced by about 23%.
