Abstract: The amount of clamp load due to an externally applied separating force is determined for a boiled assembly in which the fastener is elongated past its proportional limit, while the clamped ...

Abstract: Closed form solution for the amount of clamp load loss due to an externally applied separating force is determined for a bolted assembly in which the fastener is initially tightened beyond ...

Abstract: The amount of clamp load loss due to a fully reversed cyclic service load is determined for a bolted assembly in which the fastener and the joint were both tightened initially beyond their ...

Abstract: In this paper, formulas are developed for the calculation of the effective thread friction radius in fasteners, in order to determine the thread friction torque component. Due to the lack of ...
