FASTENER PRE-STRESSING JOINT

摘要

Fastener joints induce static pre-stresses into a fastener that clamps the joint in a magnitude equal and direction opposite from bending stresses induced in the fastener by application loading. Such joints include angling the bolts seats of a connecting rod bearing cap inwardly, creating a relief at the bolted interface between the cap and the rod adjacent to the main bore of the connecting rod or skewing the threaded holes in the rod body inwardly as they extend from the bolted joint faces.
