  2. Bolted joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint

    Bolt banging occurs in buildings when bolted joints slip into "bearing under load", thus causing a loud and potentially frightening noise resembling a rifle shot that is not, however, of structural significance and does not pose any threat to occupants. A bolted joint between two elements may act as a bearing-type joint, or a friction joint.

  3. Bearing pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_pressure

    When the rotation is slow and the load is radial, the model of uniform pressure can be used (small deformations and clearance). The product of the bearing pressure times the circumferential sliding speed, called load factor PV, is an estimation of the resistance capacity of the material against the frictional heating. [16] [17] [18]

  4. Bearing surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_surface

    A bearing surface in mechanical engineering is the area of contact between two objects. It usually is used in reference to bolted joints and bearings, but can be applied to a wide variety of engineering applications. The choice of bearing surface depends on the application, load, speed, and operating conditions, and the design must be able to ...

  5. Flange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flange

    A flange can also be a plate or ring to form a rim at the end of a pipe when fastened to the pipe (for example, a closet flange). A blind flange is a plate for covering or closing the end of a pipe. A flange joint is a connection of pipes, where the connecting pieces have flanges by which the parts are bolted together. Although the word 'flange ...

  6. Rotary union - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_union

    The second most important part of the rotary union is the bearing. A rotary union may have only one bearing, but multiple bearings are much more common. Roller bearings; such as ball bearings and tapered roller bearings; or non-roller bearings, like graphite bearings and bronze bushings, may be used in a rotary union.

  7. Slip-critical joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip-critical_joint

    These bolts, usually tension control bolts or compressible washer tension indicating type bolts, are tensioned to a minimum required amount to generate large enough friction forces between the faying surfaces such that the shear (or tension) load is transferred by the structural members and not by the bolts (in shear) and the connection plates ...

  8. Mechanical joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_joint

    A bolted joint is a mechanical joint which is the most popular choice for connecting two members together. It is easy to design and easy to procure parts for, making it a very popular design choice for many applications. Advantage: Joints are easily assembled/ disassembled by using a torque wrench or other fastener tooling. [7]

  9. Gasket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasket

    Constant seating stress gaskets derive their name from the fact that the carrier ring profile takes flange rotation (deflection under bolt preload) into consideration. With all other conventional gaskets, as the flange fasteners are tightened, the flange deflects radially under load, resulting in the greatest gasket compression, and highest ...
