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 ...

New research analyzing the bolted joints used in the aeronautical industry has determined the optimum force that should be applied so that they may better withstand the variations in temperature that ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Workplace inspectors discovered a bolted joint on Movie World's Green Lantern ride failed in March 2015, causing the ride to stop and putting 13 tourists at risk of falling to the ground. The Green ...

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 — ...
