CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

A fastener is a hardware device that mechanically joints or assembles two or more objects together. Most fastener applications are designed to support or transmit some form of externally applied load. Therefore, the mechanical properties of fastener are very important to identify the limitation to be used. Test methods have been established and published for mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, torsion strength, and corrosion. Conducting all these tests require a specific fixture to hold the fastener.

(18)

1.2 Fastener

Mechanical fasteners, such as screws, bolts, pins and rivets, have been used for many years to assemble two components. Nowadays, many types of fastener invented for different applications. Various types of materials are used to made fasteners depending on its physical properties such as corrosion resistance, high strength and high thermal resistance.

[image:18.595.236.402.387.559.2]

There are two conditions of bolt joint depending on the direction of the external loads or forces acting on the joint. Tension or tensile joint happen when the direction of the force applied is parallel to the axes of the bolt. On the other hand, force applied perpendicular to the axes of the bolt, the joint is loaded in shear and called shear joint. The Figure1.1 shows both types of joints.

Figure 1.1: Tension and Shear joints in the bolt joint

1.2.1 Tensile Joint

(19)

sustain the clamping force in order to prevent it from self loosening when exposed to vibration, shock, or thermal cycles. Although high tension in the bolt make it less susceptible to fatigue, but sometimes it make more susceptible to stress cracking. In general, we usually want the bolt in a joint loaded in tension to exert as much force on the joint and the joint members can stand.

1.2.2 Shear Joint

In particular, shear is the dominant fasteners design factor in the aircraft and aerospace field, where structural components are thin and very elastic. The main rule of bolt in a shear joint is to hold the joint and prevent it slipping or from tearing apart in the slip direction. There are two general types of shear fasteners namely, rivets and bolts or screws. The conditions of shear joint are shown in Figure 1.2 (single shear and double shear). In single shear condition, the force act in opposite and equally reacted by shear stress on the reaction area. In the double shear condition has two reaction areas. For a bolted joint in shear it is imperative that the gap between material sheets be as close to zero as possible to prevent fasteners bending. (Note that single shear joint can have a small bending moment due to the eccentricity of the

Figure 1.2:In (a) is a condition of single shear. In (b) is a condition of double shear.

The line of the primary piece of steel does not align either side of the joint. The greater the force through the connection, the more of the shaded area is needed. The number of bolts will be increased so that the cross sectional area is sufficient to resist

the SHEAR loads. (Boake, T. M. 2014)

1.2.3 Fastener Standard

(21)

1.3 Shear Test

Shearing test is different from tensile and compression testing in that the stress applied causes a shearing or tearing along a plane where it is parallel to the exerted force. Basically, shearing occurs when one surface of a material to move in one direction and the other surface move in the opposite direction so that the material is stressed in a sliding motion. Shear tests differ from tension and compression tests in that the forces applied are parallel to the two contact surface, whereas, in tension and compression they are perpendicular to the contact surfaces.(TestResources, Inc. 2014)

1.3.1 Purpose of Shear Testing

The general purpose of shear testing is to determine the mechanical properties, which is the maximum shear strength of the material that can sustain before failure occurs. This is an important mechanical property of many types of fasteners use in shear joint such as bolts and rivets. For example, when a bolt is used to clamp two components together, it will experience a shear forces if there are forces apply parallel to the component and attempt to slide on each other. If the bolt fails in shear, it may lead to structure failures that could endanger tothewhole structure.

1.3.2 Types of Shear Tests

There are two general types of shear tests.

1) The sample is setup in a modified three point flexure or four point bend

fixture.

(22)

Each end of the sample is anchored and the force is applied over the middle of the sample in an attempt to remove the midsection so that both ends are left behind.

2) The sample is tapered ends that are each placed into grip fixtures that have

been offset from the vertical axis of the sample. The sample is then pulled so that the opposite faces are pulled in opposing directions.

1.4 Design of bolted joints

There is no multipurpose fastener which acquired all requirements for every environment. The design of bolted joints involves in consideration on its strength, temperature, corrosion, vibration, fatigue and etc. Bickford (1998) states that every industry has characteristics or typical joint configuration and needs, and it would be impossible to detail each in a single text. However, some generalities must apply to most joints, whatever their specific application. And we can review design procedures which have been accepted and used by many.

According to Bickford (1998), as a joint designer, some factors must be considered such as the assembly and in-service uncertainties when designing a joint which will be loaded in tension or shear. Selection of bolt and joint sizes, shapes, and materials are important to guarantee enough clamping force to prevent bolt self loosening or fatigue, and to prevent joint slip, separation, or leakage, when clamping forces are at a minimum and those hard-to-predict service loads are at a maximum. In addition, selection bolts which are able to support a combination of maximum assembly stress plus the maximum increase in stress caused by such service conditions as applied load and differential thermal expansion.

(23)

1.5 Objective

To design special tool and fixtures for the Instron’s UTM 8802 to conduct single and double shear tests for various type of fasteners available in the local market/industry.

1.6 Problem Statement

In order to conduct a shearing test of fasteners under single and double shear conditions, it is necessary to have a suitable testing machine with appropriate fixtures to hold the specimen. To design a fixture under the specified conditions, it is first necessary to consider the properties of the specimens (fasteners) and the types of testing machine to be used. However, there are various types, strength, grades, and size of fasteners available in the local market. Therefore study and research about the properties of fasteners are very important in selection of specimens to be tested. The next consideration is the design and materials of the fixture where the safety factor of the fixture must be determined so that the testing is conducted in the range of the limitation to avoid failure.

1.7 Scope

1) Conduct preliminary study and survey of the research area/field of study:-

- Shear test according to various standards.

2) Identify available fasteners in local market to be tested under single and

double shear conditions.

3) Proposed design of tool and fixture and also test the fasteners to determine its

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Fasteners in Market

Every type of fasteners have different characteristic in materials that suitable for different environment. This is a difficult task for selecting the suitable fastener material from various standard published by considering the strength, temperature, corrosion, vibration, fatigue and many other variables. However, with the published standard of the fastener, it provides more information to help in evaluation on the fastener.

Fasteners are made from many types of materials, but most common types are carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel. Stainless steel includes both iron and nickel-based chromium alloy. For titanium and aluminum bolts, they have theirs’ own limits usage primarily use in the aerospace industries.
