Calculation of the effective bearing contact radius for precision tightening of bolted joints

Torque control is usually the only method for tightening bolts in some precision assembly applications. However, the scatter of the torque–tension relationship may significantly decrease the accuracy of the preload, which conflicts with the high requirement for mechanical accuracy in such precision...
