When a threaded fastener is tightened, the torque-tension relationship is highly sensitive to two friction components: thread friction and head friction. In this study, we carried out friction experiments and analyses to determine the optimum clamping torque setting for bolt joints. First, we measured the coefficients of thread friction and head friction under the same running conditions of the bolt clamping process for lubricated and non-lubricated bolts. We also measured axial tension through bolt clamping tests using lubricated and non-lubricated bolts attached to a strain gauge. Finally, we compared the experiment and theoretical results.

The purpose of this study is comparing cold expansion method with interference fit. Cold expansion method and interference fit of fastener hole is using in the aerospace industry. These treatment lead to an improvement of fatigue life to the compressive residual stresses developed on the hole surface. But Research is nothing to about difference effect of between cold expansion method and interference fit. So In this paper, It is shown that Comparing cold expansion method with interference fit. and It is further shown that residual stress distribution according to plate thickness.

EHV underground transmission cable characterized by low loss and bulk capacity should have high reliability to be protected fully from external damages, not to speak of its quality. In 345kV underground transmission lines of our country, the usage of frie protection trough is standardized. Fire protection trough consists of combination of trough body, spacer, shutting board, fastener, and etc. and it is required to have a high level of fire-retardant characteristics and mechanical strength. Since 1992, we, GoldStar Cable, with collaboration of Lucky, have participated in the development of fire protect ion trough and completed the type test of manufacturing site and will be supposed to go into mass product within 1993.

Shock environments are generally classified two categories; One is mechanical shock environments encountered in handling, transportation, and service environments. The other is pyrotechnic shock (or pyroshock) environments generally initiated by firing of an ordnance item to separate or release a structural member of fastener. The objective of this paper is to present a set of shock test methods - specific characteristics induced by many shock test devices, test objects properties, and shock environments. In addition, it is introduced the application of shock test in Korean aerospace development program and others with shock test facilities of Korea Aerospace Research Institute.

In order to design and manufacture structures such as a guided missile, assembly process with fastener is an essential method of fabrication. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a cylindrical structure with bolted joints were studied using experimental methods. The change of the natural frequency of the structure with the change of the fastening method and the tightening torque were measured by the test and the finite element analysis was performed using the stiffness model of the fastening part according to the fastening method and compared with the test results.

The socket-spigot template supporting system is widely used in engineering applications in China. As a newer type of support structure, there has been growing research interest in its bearing capacity. In this paper, four vertical bearing capacity tests were carried out on the basic mechanical unit frame of a socket-spigot template supporting system. The first goal was to explore the influence of the node semi-rigid degree and the longitudinal spacing of the upright tube on the vertical bearing capacity. The second objective was to analyze the displacement trend and the failure mode during the loading process. This paper presents numerical analysis of the vertical bearing capacity of the unit frames using the finite element software ANSYS. It revealed the relationship between the node semi-rigid degree and the vertical bearing capacity, that the two-linear reinforcement model of elastic-plastic material can be used to analyze the socket-spigot template supporting system, and, through node entity model analysis, that the load transfer direction greatly influences the node bearing area. Finally, this paper indicates the results of on-site application performance experiments, shows that the supporting system has adequate bearing capacity and stability, and comments on the common work performance of a socket and fastener scaffold.

In this study, in order to improve the splice performance of mechanical couplers, two new mechanical couplers with different connection modes were developed with rebar(SD400). The stress analysis of mechanical couplers with two different connection modes was carried out. Uniaxial tensile tests were carried out with type of steel, connection mode and the slope length of internal fastener as variables to analyze the influence on the maximum tensile strength. Building upon this previous work, the specimens that met the code in uniaxial tensile test were fabricated and static loading test and cyclic loading test were performed on the basis of Korean code(KS D 0249). The results of this research are as follows; (1) The tensile strength of steel and the slope length of internal fasteners have a certain influence on the maximum tensile strength. (2) The connection mode has some influence on the stiffness, slip and stiffness reduction rate of the connecting rebars. The results verify the feasibility of the proposed enhanced mechanical coupler in the field.

Mechanical fastening is still one of the main methods used for joining components. Different techniques have been applied to reduce the effect of stress concentration of notches like fastener holes. In this work we evaluate the feasibility of combining laser shock peening (LSP) and cold expansion to improve fatigue crack initiation and propagation of open hole specimens made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. LSP is a new and competitive technique for strengthening metals, and like cold expansion, induces a compressive residual stress field that improves fatigue, wear and corrosion resistance. For LSP treatment, a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with infrared radiation was used. Residual stress distribution as a function of depth was determined by the contour method. Compact tension specimens with a hole at the notch tip were subjected to LSP process and cold expansion and then tested under cyclic loading with R=0.1 generating fatigue cracks on the hole surface. Fatigue crack initiation and growth is analyzed and associated with the residual stress distribution generated by both treatments. It is observed that both methods are complementary; cold expansion increases fatigue crack initiation life, while LSP reduces fatigue crack growth rate.

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.

A screw is a type of fastener characterized by a helical ridge known as thread. The demands for screws with the miniaturization and weight reduction are increasing for the trend of small size of mobile devices. The successful designs of mold and process are very important to obtain screws with good mechanical properties and high precision. In this study, the design of cold forging process of micro screw was carried out by using finite element method. In particular, in order to investigate the effects of die geometries and friction, design of experiment method was adopted and it was revealed that the friction was the dominant factor of folding defects. From these results, the design of die was modified and experiments were carried out with the modified die. From the experimental results, it was found that the folding defects disappeared.
