Which book about threaded fasteners?
Which book about threaded fasteners?
(OP)
I'd like to know more about fastener design and calculation,
and have seen the Bickford books are favorable.
I tried to order one some time ago, however it was out of stock back then, so will try again now...
But: which one to get, if you would have to choose?
An introduction to the design and behavior of bolted joints by Bickford
or: Handbook of Bolts and bolted joints by Bickford and Nassar
or: What every engineer should know about threaded fasteners by Alexander Blake
Thanks in advance for your opinions...

So, my question would be, based on the already received info:
If you would have to choose, and could only have one, which one would it be?
Bolted Joint Engineering by Tomotsugu Sakai
or: An introduction to the design and behavior of bolted joints by Bickford
or: Handbook of Bolts and bolted joints by Bickford and Nassar

I am not familiar with the books you mentioned but I've downloaded two free pd e-books.
Fastener Design Manual - NASA:

Fastener Training Manual:

The second one is a nice reference to bolts and nuts.

1 - Don't bother with "What every engineer should know about threaded fasteners"
2a - The Bickford books you can't go wrong with - they are exceptional and cover all aspects
2b - "Bolted Joint Engineering" by Tomotsugu Sakai is a very good book as well. Not as large (only 270 pages) compared to Bickford's 500-950 pages depending on exact edition and title. But "Bolted Joint Engineering" is quite technical and does not have the "fluff" as Blake's verbiage heavy/theory absent title.

3 - VDI 2230 Systematic Calculation of High Duty Bolted Joints - Joints with one cylindrical bolt is an exceptional reference as well. However, it is pricey ~240 Euros. If you are spending your own money, for that price I would recommend buying 1 Bickford + 1 Sakai (note - I also own VDI 2230) Or if you have the money / can get work to pay for it - I highly recommend VDI 2230.
