OK, I did some "strength of materials" research to refresh my memory. Here's a quote from a physics demo on stretching wires, "Review of Scientific Principles," "Wires of the same guage, but made of
<< IOW, when it's stretched too far. And "age" and "length of time in said sitution" would have absolutly nothing to do with it, RIGHT, Charley?? Oh, regarding "surface erosion"?!?!? Nah, can't be on
<< With the above in mind, I suspect that, in the seminar that DLancer attended, the example he described was one of explaining what happens if you torque a bolt to it's strain force value and cause
Ok, I've done a little more research, particularly on Torque To Yield (TTY) bolts. In a TTY application, the bolt is torqued right up to it's elastic limit (IOW, stretched as far as it will stretch w
<< Now, in the example you saw, was the "correct" torque value at the edge of elasticity for the bolt, or below it? >> The torque wrench was set at the correct torque value for the bolt being install

<< Nice book on the subject by some guy called Carrol Shelby >> Thanks Rob. Likewise, if you can secure a copy of Bowman Technical Series, Fastener Facts from the Bowman Fastener Co. in Cleveland, OH
Hi Dave, First, thanks for the Bowman excerpt. It expands on some other info I found on the Bolt Science website <www.boltscience.com>. Interested parties can take a look. "The reuse of a capscrew is
Shelby raced in just about every SCCA event there was in his day. Was a driver, owner and later founded Shelby Racing. Responsible for many innovations in prototype racing. CR
This Carol Shelby sure is a busy lady. Sounds like the type of person that should have gone into building some kind of race car or at least a fast street car!
She also a famous naturalist. As an owner of Boa Constrictors and Pythons, I am badly wanting to add the infamous Shelby Cobra to my collection..............

Just wasn't sure how to spell Caroll. Over here it is a girls name, spelt with one L. Guess he wouldn't see the funny side of that one. Rob Wales (lives next door to a girl called Byddug....pronounce
