A V-slotted designed screw and a screwdriver with a V-shaped tang facilitate driving the screw into difficult locations and minimize axial forces thus avoiding damage to the screw.
Harness for affixing sensors to dogs for registration of physiological phenomena during space flight
Types and method of attaching electrodes in recording electrocardiogram during space flights
Literature survey on joint thermal conductance between bolted plates and experimental work on normal stress distribution under boltheads and interface stress distribution
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.
Analysis of bolt loads by ultrasonic techniques
Investigation of variables affecting joint preload properties of installed structural bolts and nuts used in fabrication and construction of spacecraft components
Ultrasonic, pulse echo interferometric method for analyzing bolt preloads
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.
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.
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.
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.
