  2. Bolted joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint

    When a shear load is applied, the connected parts move and the bolt shank makes contact with the hole walls, which transfers the load from the parts to the bolt. This causes a shear stress in the bolt at the junction of the connected parts, which it resists through its shear strength. As bearing type joints rely on this direct contact, they are ...

  3. Clevis fastener - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clevis_fastener

    The clevis is a U-shaped piece that has holes at the end of the prongs to accept the clevis pin. The clevis pin is similar to a bolt, but is either partially threaded or unthreaded with a cross-hole for a split pin.

  4. Shear force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_force

    The relevant information is the area of the material being sheared, i.e. the area across which the shearing action takes place, and the shear strength of the material. A round bar of steel is used as an example. The shear strength is calculated from the tensile strength using a factor which relates the two strengths.

  5. Sheer (ship) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheer_(ship)

    The sheer is a measure of longitudinal main deck curvature in naval architecture. The sheer forward is usually twice that aft. Increases in the rise of the sheer forward and aft build volume into the hull, and in turn increase its buoyancy forward and aft, thereby keeping the ends from diving into an oncoming wave and slowing the ship.

  6. C-clamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-clamp

    A C-clamp or G-clamp or G-cramp is a type of clamp device typically used to hold a wood or metal workpiece, and often used in, but are not limited to, carpentry and welding. . Often believed that these clamps are called "C" clamps because of their C-shaped frame, or also often called C-clamps or G-clamps [1] because including the screw part, they are shaped like an uppercase lette

    A short rope or iron clamp used to brace in the shrouds toward the masts so as to give a freer sweep to the yards. cathead A beam extending out from the hull used to support an anchor when raised in order to secure or "fish" it. cat's paws Light, variable winds on calm waters producing scattered areas of small waves. caulk

  8. Hose clamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hose_clamp

    The clamp is placed over the end of the hose or tube to be connected and when each ear is closed at the base of the ear with a special pincer tool, it permanently deforms, pulling the band, and causing the band to tighten around the hose. The size of clamp should be chosen such that the ear(s) are almost completely closed on installation.

  9. Screw - Wikipedia

    A lathe of 1871, equipped with leadscrew and change gears for single-point screw-cutting A Brown & Sharpe single-spindle screw machine. Fasteners had become widespread involving concepts such as dowels and pins, wedging, mortises and tenons, dovetails, nailing (with or without clenching the nail ends), forge welding, and many kinds of binding with cord made of leather or fiber, using many ...
