Key Points

The aim is to establish a generalizable relationship between passive and active sections of torque-force graphs.
Conducted experiments on bolted connections to analyze torque-force behavior.
Measured torque and corresponding preload forces during screwdriving processes.
Confirmed the presence of passive and active sections in torque-force graphs.
Identified potential for programming screwdriving machines to optimize torque application.

Abstract

Abstract The results of the experiments confirms that the torque-force graphs are made of passive and active sections. If we could determine a generalizable relation between the two sections, which would enable the programming of screwdriving machines in mass production in such a way that, based on the measured torque and considering passive resistances, a defined torque or angle could be applied to reduce the scatter of preload forces.
