Bolted joint tightening mechanics is a critical field of research that elucidates the complex interplay between the applied torque and the resultant preload in bolted connections. Contemporary studies ...

The scatter of bolt clamping force tightened by the conventional torque control method very often causes loosening and fatigue failure of bolted joints. Different values of frictional coefficients ...

Designing for stability is especially important because many variables that affect joint behavior cannot be directly controlled. Designing for stability is especially important because many variables ...

This release is available in Spanish. The idea for this research arose when the problems of the large structural components of an airplane were being analyzed. These components are made up of a large ...

How External Loads Affect Bolted Joints, Structural Properties of Bolted Joints, Torquing down nuts and bolts, as any handyman or mechanic knows, makes for secure joints. The question is how much ...

A user friendly Windows™ based software package is developed for analysis and design of single lap and double lap bolted joints. The bolted joint design software is based on the computer codes ...

Many composite structures are assembled with mechanically fastened (“bolted”) joints. Structural analysis of these attachments requires a linked set of design properties that are generated by D30 test ...

Flexitallic UK, the Yorkshire-headquartered sealing solutions specialist, has launched its next-generation cloud-based platform, Flexlogics™ - designed to digitise and streamline every aspect of ...

It’s not much of a stretch to say that without nuts and bolts, the world would fall apart. Bolted connections are everywhere, from the frame of your DIY 3D printer to the lug nuts holding the wheels ...

If there’s an enduring image of how large steel structures used to be made, it’s probably the hot riveting process. You’ve probably seen grainy old black-and-white films of a riveting gang — ...
