Abstract: When evaluating the strength of threaded fasteners under external loads, stress area is commonly used. However, in order to elucidate the mechanical behavior of bolted joints more rigorously and ...

Abstract: Distinctive mechanical behavior of bolted joints is caused by the helical shape of thread geometry. Recently, a number of papers have been published to elucidate the strength or loosening ...

Abstract: Fatigue failures of bolted joints frequently lead to serious accidents in machines and structures. It is well known that fatigue failure is likely to occur around the first thread root of the ...

Abstract: A bolted joint is widely used for the structures and machines subjected to thermal load, such as pressure vessels, internal combustion engines, brake disks, etc. In order to accurately evaluate ...
