Best Answer

Torque on a bolt places the bolt in Tension. The stresses are tensile stresses. There can also be torsional stress in the bolt, which is detrimental. That is minimized by lubricating the threads first, with anti-seize, thread locker (before cure), or surface treatment of the threads. In some cases, it is standard practice to back off nuts slightly after torquing to relieve the torsional stress.

What kind of simple machine is a nut and bolt?

They are types of screws which are actually inclined planes that curve around the outside of a rod and the interior of a cylinder. Instead of anchoring into a surface, a bolt passes through a hole and is locked in place by the nut. At its most basic, it is an inclined plane. That inclined plane formed by the threads of the bolt is wrapped around an axle and the nut provides a mechanical advantage by being a lever (The force arm is the nut's radius). The lever can be extended (a wrench) to provide greater mechanical advantage.


How is a Trimmer capacitors made?

There are different kinds of trimmer capacitors, but the most common type is made from interleaved layers of metal and Mylar (or some kind of plastic) with a screw that allow the layers to be tightened together, increasing capacitance as needed. Alternate layers of metal are connected to each terminal, basically making a meshed plate capacitor, where the distance between plates is controlled by the screw.


What are types of stress?

I believe what you're looking for is the difference between chronic stress and acute stress. The difference is best described through example: One might experience acute stress while studying for a final exam. One might experience chronic stress a few months into their freshman year of college, being far away from home and friends for the first time, getting too little sleep, and feeling generally overwhelmed by their classes. Chronic stress, which builds over a prolonged period of time, can lead to serious health problems.


Is a bolt made from steel?

Bolts can be made of various kind of metal. They are mostly made of steel that has been hardened to make them stronger. A traditional hex bolt has a head that is forged using either a hot or cold forming process. In the hot-forging method steel is cut to length, one end is heated to 800-1200 degrees Fahrenheit. Using an upsetter or press the material is forced into dies that form the steel into the desired pattern. Cold form uses large machines that form coils of steel wire in a process that creates a finished bolt.

What is The Law of Stress?

The Law of Stress states that Stress is the difference between Pressure and Adaptability of any kind. The law is expressed as a formula, S = P - A, or Stress = Pressure - Adaptability. This universal law is valid for physical, biological, and psychological stress. The Law of Stress concept was developed in 1978 by Dr. Robert Dato, an American Psychoanalyst.
