2. 1. Torque and Angle Controlled Tightening of Bolted Joints

   Author : Göran Toth; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; torque controlled tightening; deformation parameters; momentary elongation; deformation factor; torque; Bolted screwed joints; spring characteristic; Torx; torque and angle controlled tightening; hexalobular; final torque; snug torque; Taylor’s series expansions; preload; plastic deformation; permanent elongation; yield; friction diameter; plastic spring constant; clevis; turn-of-nut method; bearing surface pressure; twisting; Monte-Carlo simulations;

   Abstract : Reduced weight and fuel consumption, improved reliability and engine performance are the main requirements in the automotive industry of today. These requirements demand robust and optimized bolted joints, where a high amount of preload obtained by effective utilisation of the bolt is essential. READ MORE

4. 2. Three-Dimensional Load-Deformation Relationships of Arbitrarily Loaded Coiled Springs

   Author : Lars Lindkvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; extended stiffness model; helical spring; non-linear deformation; stiffness matrix; coiled spring; arbitrary load; large deformation; three-dimensional;

   Abstract : This paper reports the development of a computer based tool that can be used to predict the three-dimensional load-deformation relationships of arbitrarily loaded coiled springs. The non-linear deformation of the spring is calculated by dividing the spring into small elements for which the load-deformation relationships can be considered to be linear. READ MORE
