Abstract

Bolted joint design can be a challenging task when faced with the number of factors that lead to a safe and reliable joint. Failure to understand these factors can be catastrophic if proper attention is not given to each and every component in the joint. In this article an approach to minimise fluctuations with respect to coefficient of friction when using stainless steel, as well as nickel-based and cobalt-based fasteners, will be presented.(…)
