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 ...

Bolted joints remain a cornerstone in modern engineering, representing a widely used connection method in applications ranging from automotive assemblies to high-speed rail systems. The intricate ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 — ...

As a rail joint, the bolted joints are usually used to join rail tracks together before the are welded. As to joining two rails with differing sections, the compromise joints are mostly used. And the ...

There is a trend churning in the wind power industry; it involves upgrading wind turbines with newer, more powerful generation systems. Thanks to higher-capacity turbines and more efficient components ...
