John H. Bickford – författare

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.

Presenting time‑tested standards as well as validated emerging knowledge on threaded fasteners and bolted joints, this updated edition covers how to design, select parts and materials, control assembly processes, predict behavior, and solve on‑the‑job problems.This handbook examines key issues affecting bolting in the automotive, pressure vessel, petrochemical, aerospace, energy, and structural steel industries. The editors have successfully created a useful rather than scholarly handbook with chapters written in a straightforward, how‑to manner. Theory is discussed only when necessary and the handbook’s logical organization and thorough index enhance its usefulness. Handbook of Bolts and Bolted Joints, Second Edition includes updated chapters, solved numerical examples, and case studies.This new edition is an essential handbook for professionals, researchers, and students in all fields in which threaded joints are used, including automotive, aerospace, structural, chemical, and naval and ocean engineering, as well as agricultural equipment, wind turbines, and medical devices.
