Some joint-design considerations are universal; others vary with the assembly methods used. Each joining technique has particular design requirements, while certain joint requirements may suggest a ...

• time factors in the assembly process. The adhesive can be applied by either an automated robotic system, a bulk dispensing system or a portable hand held dispensing cartridge which allows the system ...

When comparing its importance to effort expended, few aspects of product development are more out of balance than joint design. Design decisions made early in product development are generally the ...

Engineering and manufacturing specialist CCTY has developed a simplified new universal joint design that delivers better performance and improved durability compared to the familiar old U-joint. The ...

Structural engineers often require below-grade expansion joints to accommodate the independent movement of adjacent elements such as basement foundations, tunnels, parking garages, or utility vaults.

Connective joints are "design projects in their own right", according to the curators of the huge U-Joints exhibition during Milan design week. The showcase, at Milan's PlusDesign Gallery, tasked 50 ...

Contraction joints (sometimes called control joints) are used in unreinforced and lightly reinforced slabs-on-ground to minimize random cracking. By creating straight-line weakened-planes in concrete, ...

• The lateral compliance of a gasket (proportional to its thickness and, inversely proportional to the area and shear modulus) can be helpful in preventing fretting caused by vibration. Alternatively, ...

Clean Sky 2’s D-Joints (Design of innovative composite hybrid joints with electromagnetic compatibility) project has successfully tested and validated two types of joint technologies developed under ...
