When a bolt is tightened up to the range of plastic deformation, yielding may be governed by the combined stresses due to the axial force developed in the bolt and the frictional torque induced on the thread by the contact with the nut. Consideration is taken account of the fact that the unengaged portion of the thread has least sectional area, being subject to initial yielding. Once yielding has taken place some strain hardening effect may result. Incremental stress-strain relations are used to treat the continued yielding, which is equivalent to treat continued yielding as if summing up the effects of thin walled cylinders subject to plastic deformation. M10 bolts of fine threads are used for both computational and experimental purposes. Variation of axial forces and frictional torques vs. the frictional coefficients are presented together with other plots showing some characterist of bolt under plastic deformation. Finally, a design and control aid for the tightening(i.e., kind of nomograph) is presented, showing the relationships among the torque factor and frictional coefficients for that particular bolt used in the experiment.

By using ultrasonic waves, we obtained conclusion from the experiment for measuring joint axial force of high tension bolt. The conclusion is followed. : From the high tension bolts used at turbine of Thermoelectric Power Plant, we obtained the equation of calculating joint axial force that is ${\sigma}=\frac{{\Delta}BPD}{j{\times}{\Sigma}{\delta}}$. By using IBM PC, which is inputed by the equation for calculating joint axial force of high tension bolts, we got joint axial force of high tension bolts form beam path of ultrasonic waves. Furrther, we can identify that constitution of plant safety inspection system is possible.

Because the torque control method, which is also caled the clamping method in domestic construction sites, is affected by a variation of the torque coefficient, quality control of the torque coefficient is essential. This study was focused to evaluate the effects of several environmental factors and errors when installing bolts while tightening high-strength bolts. Conditioning environmental parameters include wet, rusty and exposure-to-air-only conditions. In addition, because of errors in workability such as instalation of two washers, upset washers are selected. During the tests, torque, torque coefficient, tension and angle of nut rotation were obtained using a bolt testing machine. Test specimens of four types of bolts (High-Strength Hexagon bolt on KS B 1010, Torque Shear Bolt on KS B 2819, High-Strength Hexagon bolt coated with zinc, and ASTM 490 bolt) were recomended. Based on test results, the tightening characteristics subjected to environmental parameters were investigated and compared with the results in normal condition.

In this paper, the effect of bolt clamping force and form accuray of contact surface between mirror and mount on mirror surface was studied. Normally, mirror used in reflecting optical system was assembled with mount by bolts or adhesive. In this case, the tension caused by bolt clamping force or adhesive force may distort the mirror surface. Also, form accuracy error of the contact surface have a negative impact on wrenched mirror surface which assembled by bolts or adhesive. In this study, stress and distorted displacements on mirror surface were analyzed according to the different contact surface form accuracies and bolt clamping forces by using the finite element analysis method.

In this study, a new segment assembling method using cable tensible force and island-type shear key was developed to improve the problems of bolt assembling method of shield tunnel. The bolting system and island-type shear key system were compared to analyze the mechanical behavior that occurs in the segment. The study results obtained from structural investigation and numerical analysis technique showed that the shear strength of island-type shear key is higher than that of the bolt system. With the increase of the tensile strength, it is expected that the stability of the segment will be secured.

A type IP-2 transport package should prevent a loss or dispersal of the radioactive contents and a more than $20\%$ increase in the maximum radiation level at any external surface of the package when it were subjected to the drop test under the normal conditions of transport. If a shielding thickness of IP-2 transport package is thick, a bolted lid type may prevent a loss or dispersal of the radioactive contents than the door type of ISO containers which are generally used as a type IP-2 transport package. In this paper, to evaluate the effect of drop directions on the bolt tension and the coherence of a bolt, the drop tests of preliminary small model are tested and evaluated for seven directions before the drop test of a type IP-2 transport package with a bolted lid type under the normal conditions of transport. Seven drop directions which are a bottom-vertical drop, a lid-vortical drop. a horizontal drop and four corner drops have been carried out. Using a force sensor, the bolt tension during the drop impact is measured. The coherence of bolt is evaluated by the difference between the fastening torque of bolt before a drop test and the unfastening torque of bolt after a drop impact.

The tension type joint is a mechanically very efficient connection method, as it directly uses the load capacity of base metal or high tension bolt, the reduction of the number of drilling hole and fastening and the fatigue resistance. It is applied to the joint of girder and cross beam, horizontal joints of towers, beam to column joints, the secondary member joints of deck floor ends, and brackets. In this paper, static load tests for the T-type tension joint were conducted to investigate the structural behavior of the joint. The parameters were bolt diameter, flange thickness, and the reduction of clamping force of the joint. The failure modes and load capacity of joints and the effects of flange thickness, bolt diameter and clamping force were investigated.

The flexural behavior of steel composite beam with built-up cross-section by bolt connection is presented in this paper. The composite effect due to bolt-connetion and friction between steel plate are considered to investigate the flexural behavior of steel composite beam. The displacement, bending stresses and shear stresses according to composite rate are calculated by F.E. analysis and these results are compared to the analytical values of non interaction beam and full interaction beam. As a result of analysis, the behavior of composite beam is more dependant on the composite rate than the friction of the steel plate. When the composite rate reaches $50{\sim}60%$, the behavior of composite beam is similar to that of fully composite beam.

As the size of electric products such as mobile phones and smart watches decrease, the bolts used to assemble these products should also be miniaturized. A miniature-sized bolt has to provide sufficient joining torque and anti-releasing torque to keep the components together. We studied a serrated bolt as a candidate for a miniature-sized fastener to increase the anti-releasing torque. In a serrated bolt, a serrated shape is formed on the bottom surface of the bolt head to create an obstacle to releasing. In this study, finite element analyses for the joining and releasing of bolts were carried out, and the anti-releasing performance was predicted. Based on the results of analyses using various numbers of serrations and fastening depths, the effects of the number of serrations and fastening depth on the anti-releasing performance were investigated.

In this paper, the progressive failure analysis of a bolted composite joint which is used in combustion tubes of projectiles and weapon systems is performed. Hashin's failure criterion is considered as fiber tensile failure mode, fiber compressive failure mode, matrix tensile failure mode, and matrix compressive failure mode for this analysis. And this criterion is used to make user subroutine, UMAT. Through the progressive failure analysis we predicted failure strength and compared failure strength with specimen test result.
