Some joint-design considerations are universal; others vary with the assembly methods used. Each joining technique has particular design requirements, while certain joint requirements may suggest a ...

Analyzing one-bolt joints with FEA would usually call for modeling a small assembly, friction, and contact. And unless the design is for a limited life, the complex effort is overkill. Boltcalc ...

Bolted joint tightening mechanics is a critical field of research that elucidates the complex interplay between the applied torque and the resultant preload in bolted connections. Contemporary studies ...

Gasketed bolted flange joints continue to be a critical component in a wide variety of industrial applications, ranging from pressure vessels to large-scale piping systems. The analysis and ...
