Bolts, Nuts and Joints (1 credit hours)
This course is an overview of the basics of threaded fasteners and bolted joint design.  The lesson explores some of the theory underlying the design of successful bolted joints, including a detailed examination of what happens to the load on a bolt when external forces are applied.  The effects of tightening torque on the bolt are discussed.  Included in this course are descriptions of common nut, bolt and washer configurations and their main characteristics.  The lesson does not contain tables of nut and bolt dimensions.
