Mechanical Behaviors of Bolted Joint in Various Clamping Configurations.

Recent Advances in Bolted composite Joint Strength Prediction

AMPTIAC Directory ... 15 The beginning In late 1993, the Mechanics and Surface Interactions Branch of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Materials Directorate (AFRL/MLBM) was tasked to investigate the accuracy of the analysis methods used to predict the strength of bolted composite joints used on high-performance fighter aircraft such as the F-22 Raptor. The strength of bolted joints is essent...

Mechanical and interfacial characterization of laser welded Co-Cr alloy with different joint configurations

PURPOSE The mechanical and interfacial characterization of laser welded Co-Cr alloy with two different joint designs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dumbbell cast specimens (n=30) were divided into 3 groups (R, I, K, n=10). Group R consisted of intact specimens, group I of specimens sectioned with a straight cut, and group K of specimens with a 45° bevel made at the one welding edge. The microstructur...

Reliability of Systems with Various Element Configurations

Note: Sections 1, 3 and 4 of this application example require only knowledge of events and their probability. Section 2 involves the binomial and Poisson distributions. Many physical and non-physical systems (e.g. bridges, car engines, airconditioning systems, biological and ecological systems, chains of command in civilian or military organizations, quality control systems in manufacturing pla...
