What Every Engineer Should Know about Threaded Fasteners: Materials and Design

by Alexander Blake

Overview

This valuable reference presents a considerable body of materials knowledge distilled from the leading industrial institutions' practical experience in developing and improving threaded fasteners, introducing engineers to the selection, procurement and quality control of fasteners.  It gives elementary design formulas for fastener sizing, properties and sample calculations. Illustrated with tables and drawings, this volume is an important reference for any mechancial, design, manufacturing, automotive and aerospace engineers, technologists and technicians; fastener manufacturers and sales personnel, under graduate-level coureses in manufacturing and mechanical engineering and industry in-house training courses in fastener design and manufacture.
