    Reusability of nuts and tapped holes + Choosing the right material

    In the section "8-3 Threaded fasteners" from Shigley's the following text can be seen: Replacing a nut is simple enough. However, replacing a tapped part or having to update the tapped hole with something like a helicoil could be more complicated. Would that recommendation from Shigley's apply...

    Analyzing applied torque to one of lug nuts instead of wheel center

    We all know that torque consists of force and distance. If we apply torque to the center of a car wheel, the force that the tire exerts to the ground can be calculated by dividing the torque by tire radius but what about applying torque to one of lug nuts which is off center? In the above...
