Quick-release hook-and-loop fastener

Joints between two rigid materials lined with velcro fabric can now be broken with ease using any one of several methods. Three such methods are applicable to either hook or loop fabric.

Metallic composites as high-temperature fasteners

Metallic composities can be fabricated in one-step process in which mixture is directionally solidified. Phase-reinforced eutectic alloys have superior high-temperature mechanical properties.

Proceedings of the Symposium on Welding, Bonding, and Fastening

Various technological processes to achieve lightweight reliable joining systems for structural elements of aircraft and spacecraft are considered. Joining methods, combinations of them, and nondestructive evaluation and quality assurance are emphasized.

Large-diameter fasteners of CRES alloy

Double-hex bolthead allows bolts of high strength corrosion-resistant steel (CRES) to be made in diameters up to 1-1/4 in. Design allows 12-point tension heads to be cold formed to retain required minimum tensile strength of 220,000 psi and to retain high fracture strength.

Stress-intensity factors for cracks emanating from the loaded fastener hole

Using a series approach and the Muskhelishvili formulation in the two-dimensional theory of elasticity, stress-intensity factors K are derived for problems in which cracks emanate radially from the boundary of an arbitrarily loaded internal circular hole in an infinite plate. Numerical values are obtained for K(I) and K(II) for radial cracks from a hole containing a loose-fitted pin or rivet that is pulled perpendicular to the crack direction in the plane of the plate. The method is a general one for determining K for a set of symmetrically emanating radial cracks for a variety of concentrated or distributed tractions on the circular hole.
