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 ...

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 ...

From the buildings we work in, the data centers we depend on, and especially in the machines we design, we inevitably rely on bolted joint connections. Unfortunately, due to the perceived simplicity ...

Designing for stability is especially important because many variables that affect joint behavior cannot be directly controlled. Some of the major causes of uncertainty include: Assembly: Clamping ...
