Reversing Fastener Head
Reversing Fastener Head
(OP)
Hello people, i have an urgent request for some info on an issue i am dealing with. I am trying to find out the consequences of reversing the fastener head, i.e. flipping the fastener head with the nut. If its a tension application, what sort of loss of strength am i looking at, any books or references that talk about this.
Thx
Thx

RE Peterson, Stress Consentration Factors (1974)
Regarding Pre-loaded bolts in pure tension, under dynamic loading conditions:
15% of failures occur at the fillet under the bolt head, 20% occur at the end of the threads on the shank, and 65% occur at the nut face.
What type of fasteners are you using, and under what loading conditions?

I can't see how it would matter in a properly designed joint.

Old school this, but even a small factor of safety still counts.
