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 ...

The dynamic analysis of bolted joints using finite element modeling encompasses a sophisticated convergence of computational techniques and experimental validation to simulate the non-linear ...

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 ...

Preloading makes for robust joints. Here’s a simple way to get the analysis right. 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Energy dissipation due to micro-slip in joints is the primary source of damping in many vehicle and space structures. This paper presents results on how the surface topology may be modified to ...

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 ...
