Study on Tightening, Anti-Loosening, and Fatigue Resistance Performances of Bolted Joints with Different Anti-Loosening Washers and Nuts
Loosening failure of bolted joints often occurs in a vibration environment.This may induce the separation of clamped components and even result in catastrophic consequences in certain situations.Various anti-loosening bolted connections have been developed and widely applied to prevent loosening.Tightening and fatigue resistance performances are al
