Fretting Fatigue Characterization of Steel Bolted Connections
… small amplitudes at the same time. Slip-critical bolted connections are commonly used in repetitive loading applications and are susceptible to fretting fatigue failure. Among the many factors that can affect the fretting fatigue life of the bolted connections, bolt preload and surface finish are …

The Variability of Strains in Bolts and the Effect on Preload in Jointed Structure
… are the most common method used for tightening bolts; however, this method can cause a large amount of uncertainty in the resulting bolt preload. With the inability to determine the preload in bolted structures precisely, overdesign is necessary for bolts to meet safety requirements and prevent …
