Fatigue Failure of Metallic Bolts
Posted on November 12, 2015
A common cause of failures in various types of equipment is fatigue failure of bolts that secure parts together. Fatigue in any type of dynamically loaded mechanical component accounts for more than 80% of all failures. This post reviews some important factors in fatigue failure of metallic bolts. Mechanical fatigue involves cyclic or fluctuating tensile […]
