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 ...

Analyzing one-bolt joints with FEA would usually call for modeling a small assembly, friction, and contact. And unless the design is for a limited life, the complex effort is overkill. Boltcalc ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
