Some joint-design considerations are universal; others vary with the assembly methods used. Each joining technique has particular design requirements, while certain joint requirements may suggest a ...

Designing for stability is especially important because many variables that affect joint behavior cannot be directly controlled. Designing for stability is especially important because many variables ...

The dynamic analysis of bolted joints using finite element modeling encompasses a sophisticated convergence of computational techniques and experimental validation to simulate the non-linear ...

Many composite structures are assembled with mechanically fastened (“bolted”) joints. Structural analysis of these attachments requires a linked set of design properties that are generated by D30 test ...

Develop a longer wind turbine blade that will produce more power output without increasing blade weight, the load on the turbine or the costs for transportation to and assembly at the wind farm site.
