This course presents the fundamental principles of structural analysis, determination of reactions, internal forces and deflections under the static load conditions. The course is mainly focused to ...

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 ...

In this video we'll take a detailed look at trusses. Trusses are structures made of up slender members, connected at joints which can be approximated to pinned connections. It is typically assumed ...

ABSTRACT Due to the increase of computer performance, modern screw design is more and more based on finite element analyses. Depending on the problem, different possibilities of modelling bolted ...
