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 ...

Sometimes called railway fishplates, rail joints are an important component of a rail track system to connect two rail tracks together. Three commonly used types of rail joints include: Bolted joints ...

As a rail joint, the bolted joints are usually used to join rail tracks together before the are welded. As to joining two rails with differing sections, the compromise joints are mostly used. And the ...
