Bolting Technology for Engineers and Designers
Please register on any session showing, this will not be the date the course takes place. Upon registration your e-learning will then be booked and all of the log in details sent to you. You can undertake the training as soon as you have received this.
Description
The course is designed for Engineers and Designers who are responsible for the specification and design of bolted joints. This is a practical course, in that methodologies are presented for solving everyday bolting problems encountered in mechanical engineering.
Threaded fasteners are a notable cause of service and other related problems. Besides possible safety implications, fastener failures can represent a significant proportion of a product's warranty costs. This course presents key knowledge and facts to an Engineer to enable bolted joints to be designed and fasteners sized so that they will not fail.
This course will help you to
1. Determine the appropriate size and strength of fastener to be used in an application.
2. Understand the common modes of failures of fasteners and how each mode can be prevented.
3. Be able to calculate the loading acting on individual bolts given the forces acting on the joint.
4. Avoid the pain of making very costly, unnecessary mistakes when designing bolted joints.
5. Learn the differences between a manufacturing and design quality defect in relation to threaded fasteners.
6. Be able to determine the appropriate tightening torque to specify for a threaded fastener in a given situation.
7. Be able to establish the length of thread engagement needed to prevent thread stripping.
8. Be able to determine the forces acting on individual bolts when forces are acting on a joint.
