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 ...

Most engineers who deal with bolted joints are familiar with torque tables for SAE-grade bolts, but these are all too often used without regard for the yield strength of internal threads or the bolt’s ...

If there’s an enduring image of how large steel structures used to be made, it’s probably the hot riveting process. You’ve probably seen grainy old black-and-white films of a riveting gang — ...

Ever been strolling through a hardware store or perhaps an auto parts establishment and wondered of the meaning behind the markings on the hundreds of thousands of bolt heads on the shelf? Whether you ...

Having a 500-plus-horse big-block under the hood of our Basket Case 1970 Chevelle project is exciting, but we're going to need a reliable way to convert that rotational power into linear motion. So ...

It’s not much of a stretch to say that without nuts and bolts, the world would fall apart. Bolted connections are everywhere, from the frame of your DIY 3D printer to the lug nuts holding the wheels ...
