To ensure the coupler’s adequate retraction in rail vehicle collisions, this study systematically investigates the shear fracture behavior of bolts, focusing on the effects of geometric parameters and ...

Steel–concrete composite beams are increasingly adopted in modern construction owing to their high strength, stiffness, and efficiency. Conventional welded shear connectors, while effective, hinder ...

Bolted joints are among the most common structural elements in precision machinery. They are used because they are strong, serviceable and reliable. Yet, despite their prevalence, the moment stiffness ...
