Abstract: Threaded connections are used in a lot of mechanical and civil engineering applications and, nowadays, are perhaps the most developed and economical way to join two elements made of any kind ...

Abstract: The analysis of the stress state induced by the make-up torque of tapered threaded connections is very important for the improvement of both the static and the fatigue resistance of such ...

Abstract: Rotary shouldered connections (RSC), used in the oil and gas industries, are probably the most stressed components of the drill string because they are subjected both to make-up torque and to ...
