Pre-loaded Bolted Connections

Bolted connections play an important role in mechanical assemblies and designing them often involves answering several questions such as: What kind of fasteners are needed? How many fasteners do we need for a design and how tight do we want them during installation? Will the bolted joint fail during operation? Usually, such questions can be answered with the aid of numerical simulations but setting up such models opens a whole new set of questions. In this learning track titled “Preloaded Bolted Joints”, we have packaged courses that walk you through different aspects of designing bolted joints and how finite element analysis can be leveraged. It addresses several questions related to both designing and simulating the preloaded bolted joints and provides wisdom to make modeling decisions for practical problems. Students and professionals with interests in any industry that deals with mechanical assemblies can benefit from this learning track.
A track completion digital badge allows you to showcase your expertise and get recognized globally. We partner with the Credly Acclaim platform. Digital badges can be used in email signatures, digital resumes, social and professional media. The digital image contains verified metadata that describes your participation in the specific learning track consisting of multiple courses. This digital badge is for successfully completing the Pre-loaded Bolted Connections track.
