Introduction to the Design and Behavior of Bolted Joints (4^th Ed.) Gasketed Bolted Joints Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Series

Redesigned for increased accessibility, the fourth edition of this bestseller has been divided into two separate but complementary volumes. Each volume contains the basic information useful to bolting experts in any industry, but because the two volumes are more clearly focused, they are easier and more efficient to use.

The first volume, Non-Gasketed Joints (cat no. 8176), describes the design, behavior, misbehavior, failure modes, and analysis of the bolts and bolted joints that play a large, even ubiquitous, role in the myriad machines and structures that form our world.

This volume covers Gasketed Bolted Joints. Part I surveys the various types of gasketed joints. This information is expanded and updated to cover the latest developments and applications. Part II covers the latest evaluation and testing techniques for gasketed joints, and Part III presents techniques for selecting, specifying and qualifying them. Part IV covers design and analysis techniques in detail, and Part V concludes the book with coverage of assembly, operation and repair.
