Abstract
A UNIQUE TEST method and apparatus now make it possible to reproduce conditions of vibration that are not only certain to loosen bolted joints but which also closely simulate actual conditions. It can be shown that properly preloaded fasteners loosen as a result of rotation as soon as relative motion occurs between the mating threads and between the bearing surfaces of the fastener and the clamped material.
