“Structural Properties of Bolted Joints,” Machine Design, Feb. 18, 2010, p. 44. Detailed free-body diagrams of bolted joints can be found in Juvinall and Marshcek, Fundamentals of Machine Component ...

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 ...

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 ...

Some joint-design considerations are universal; others vary with the assembly methods used. Each joining technique has particular design requirements, while certain joint requirements may suggest a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Structural connections involving a T-stub arrangement often result in fasteners loaded in tension. The working load developed in the fastener is dependent upon the stiffness and deformation of the ...

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 ...

The Federal Aviation Administration is requiring US airlines to inspect Boeing 787s for potential cracking of some structural joints. The agency proposed the inspections in May and has now finalised ...
