Thank you for your answers, I understand this and it matches my pre load calculations.
I am trying to demonstrate why a steel fastener rotates under load and an identical fastener made from titanium at the same torque doesn't. I would be very grateful to hear your theories.
The friction...
Hi,
I am trying to determine the difference between a steel and titanium fastener of the same diameter and length when torque tightening to a standard value.
Obviously the steel fastener is stiffer than the titanium and I believe this means the titanium fastener is likely to have a higher...
The calculation MintJulep explains seems very sensible,
I would like to simply bound the possibilities to calculate the maximum and minimum twist possible in degrees, can somebody help to explain how?
I have purchased a Roark's stress and strain book but exactly what I should be doing isn't...
Hi, thank you all for the information above. I will explain some more about the reason for this question.
The fasteners in question hold a large heavy plate onto the side of a digger arm (farm equipment) if an Allen key has not been used to react the fastener while torquing then after a couple...
Hi,
I would like to calculate how much a bolt with a long grip length might twist during torque tightening of the nut to a specific torque value.
The hole needs to be interference and it is important that I consider differences between reacting the head of the fastener with a spanner and only...
