The fully updated Fifth Edition of John H. Bickford's classic work, updated by Michael Oliver, provides a practical, detailed guide for the design threaded bolted joints, the tightening of threaded joints, and the latest design procedures for long-term life. New sections on materials, threads, and their strength have been added, and coverage of FEA for design analysis is now included.

Referencing the latest standards, this new edition combines fastener materials, explanation of how fasteners are made, and how fasteners fit together, supplementing the basic design coverage included in previous versions of this authoritative text.

Introduction to the Design and Behavior of Bolted Joints: Non-Gasketed Joints will be of interest to engineers involved in the design and testing of bolted joints.

About the Author

John H. Bickford worked as a Private Consultant, Middletown, Connecticut prior to his retirement. He also served as Vice-President and Manager of the Power-Dyne Division at Raymond Engineering, Inc. in Middletown, Connecticut. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and Founder and former President of the Bolting Technology Council.

Michael Oliver earned his B.S. degree from North Carolina State University, and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Dayton. His work with fastener technology began when he worked at Delphi Automotive in Dayton, Ohio, as their Senior Fastener Engineer, running their Fastener Test Lab for 10 years. During this time period Dr. Oliver received his Ph.D. in Threaded Fasteners. He spent the rest of his career dealing with sustainment issues of aerospace structures, which also included aerospace threaded fasteners. His lab performed thread inspections using System 23 thread gaging as well as TIR on various locations on threaded fasteners. We obtained thread and under-head coefficient of friction values, established torque/clamp-load correlations, and created residual torque values for quality audits. Testing was a big part of my job. The remining time was spent traveling the world dealing with is called quality spills (some company did something that usually changed either the frictional coefficient(s) or material properties of one of the members of the threaded bolted joint).

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places.

In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
