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 ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Within the scope of today's product development in automotive engineering, the aim is to produce lighter and solid parts with higher ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 — ...

Sometimes called railway fishplates, rail joints are an important component of a rail track system to connect two rail tracks together. Three commonly used types of rail joints include: Bolted joints ...
