The fully updated Fifth Edition of John H. Bickford's classic work,
updated by Michael Oliver, provides a practical, detailed guide for the
design threaded bolted joints, the tightening of threaded joints, and
the latest design procedures for long-term life. New sections on
materials, threads, and their strength have been added, and coverage of
FEA for design analysis is now included.
Referencing the latest standards, this new edition combines fastener
materials, explanation of how fasteners are made, and how fasteners fit
together, supplementing the basic design coverage included in previous
versions of this authoritative text.
Introduction to the Design and Behavior of Bolted Joints: Non-Gasketed
Joints will be of interest to engineers involved in the design and
testing of bolted joints.
