The load distributions obtained from the established 3D FE model were found to be identical to those obtained using the spring-based method; the bolt-hole clearances significantly impacted the load distributions, but the effects of the bolt tightening torques on the load distributions could be ignored.
An experimental failure analysis has been carried out to determine the effects of thermal condition and tightening torque on the failure load and failure behavior of single lap double serial fastener glass fiber/epoxy composite joints.
The effects of up to 1 million cyclic loads and various tightening torque forces (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 Ncm) on screw loosening were evaluated by wave analysis.
The Brighton declaration, in its current incarnation, would lighten the court's load in part by tightening criteria for accepting cases, allowing it to focus on the most important ones but reducing access in the process.
For example, many malls have tightened restrictions at loading bays, forcing retailers to preschedule deliveries and turning away unexpected shipments and deliveries.
Friederich believes China's banks had been anticipating substantial credit tightening, so many of them front-loaded their loans by disbursing them at the start of the year before any caps could be implemented.
However, other studies have suggested that UP results from carrying heavy loads every day and tightening the abdominal musculature, thereby increasing pressure on the pelvic organs [ 3, 8].
To develop and test a new cerclage wire tightening technique, yielding reproducibly maximal pre-tension, load to failure and minimal elongation to failure of the wire junction.
These bolts were developed for installation in existing slabs by drilling holes around columns or concentrated load application points and then tightening against the slab surfaces.
Stress variations showing flange yielding, flange rotation, effects of joint tightening sequence, identification of the mode of response to loading (static or dynamic) is discussed.
