Engineering Structural Analysis Methods
This cluster of papers focuses on the analysis, modeling, and experimental study of bolted joints, threaded fasteners, and gasketed joints. It explores topics such as finite element analysis of tightening and loosening mechanisms, friction coefficients in torque-preloading relationships, bearing friction torque, and the effect of thread pitch on fatigue life. The papers also investigate the behavior of bolted joints under various loading conditions, the influence of lubrication on frictional characteristics, and methods to prevent self-loosening and improve anti-loosening performance.
Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
