This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The essential properties of a bolt pattern are its elastic center and reaction module. The principal elastic axis is ...

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 ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...
