Why do bolts loosen?

The main reason is insufficient preload, allowing transverse slip of bolt and joint members. Preload, or residual tension, in a tightened bolt means more to assembly strength than actual strength of the fastener itself. In a joint, a bolt torqued to its proper load level can resist a maximum amount of external load without loosening.

Designers can take advantage of this fact to ensure correct bolt loading, and at the same time reduce costs. FACT! : Assembled bolts are tightest when stressed as near as possible to their elastic limit.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
