Loosening of threaded fasteners is a key failure mode, which is mainly caused by the
slippage and friction behaviors on the thread and bearing surfaces, and will affect the …

Threaded fasteners are vastly used in the industry due to ease of mounting and dismounting
and flexibility of design. Nonetheless, several researchers indicate that most failures …

Loosening failure is a serious failure mode of bolted joints. The anti-loosening performance
of bolted joints can be evaluated quantitatively by measuring their critical transverse loads …

Threaded fasteners naturally tend to loosen under vibration, impact, or alternating thermal
load. Various anti-loosening methods or strategies are widely applied for preventing …

The accumulation of local slippage between thread contact surfaces has recently emerged
as a key reason for the self-loosening of threaded fasteners subjected to transversal …

To ensure the reliability of bolted joints, it is essential to accurately determine the critical load
that prevents rotational loosening of the nuts. In this paper, the mechanical behavior of …

By considering the tightening process, a three‐dimensional elastic finite element analysis is
conducted to explore the mechanism of bolt self‐loosening under transverse cyclic loading …

The transverse vibration test of bolts has been designed with adoption of the fatigue tester to
study the features of the loosening life of bolts. Firstly, the transverse vibration frequency has …

Purpose Bolted joints are the most common type of mechanical connections, and improving
the anti-loosening performance of bolts for the reliable performance of mechanical and …

This study provides a theoretical and experimental investigation of the effect of the thread
and bearing friction coefficients on the self-loosening of threaded fasteners that are …
