Self-Loosening Problems of Preloaded Bolted Joints

Abstract

In this paper, self-loosening problem of the preloaded bolted joints which is sufficiently
unknown or no consensus yet not be obtained was described and analyzed. End of the paper, determination
of the torque loss of bolt was explained and some suggestions against to self-loosening of bolts were given.

Öngerilmeli Cıvata Bağlarında Çözülme Problemleri

Abstract

Bu yayında, nedenleri üzerinde henüz tam bir fikir birliği sağlanamayan ve teknik uygulamalarda
oldukça sık karşılaşılan cıvatalı bağlantılarda sıkma torkunun kısmen veya tamamen kaybolması problemi
hakkında, literatürde mevcut çalışmalar analiz edilerek cıvata bağlarında tork kaybının tespiti ve
alınabilecek önlemler konusunda bazı öneriler sıralanmıştır.
