This paper presents an innovative earthquake resilient steel beam-to-column connection
with a mechanical hinge and a pair of buckling-restrained steel plates for seismic damage …

The fretting-fatigue behaviour of shrink fit lug-bush assemblies is investigated. In this paper,
experimental fatigue tests are carried out on lug-bush specimens with three different levels …

A pinned connection or lug joint is a common connection type used both in civil engineering
and mechanical engineering. In civil engineering, this connection is used for assembling …

Pin-loaded connections are widely used in the industry. Connecting rods of reciprocating
engines in automotive applications or pin-loaded lugs of landing gears and airframe …

A two-dimensional analytical solution is presented for stresses and displacements in an
elastic curved beam forming an incomplete ring in frictionless and unbonded contact with a …

The mathematical models available in the pertinent literature for designing the cap of a
connecting rod are critically examined, and it is shown that some currently adopted …

The elastic stress concentrations are addressed that are developed from the keyless
frictionless press fit of a shaft subjected to bending into a hub with rounded bore edges …

Pin-loaded lugs with bush fitting are widely encountered in industrial applications to connect
parts and transmit loads and motions. Due to their mechanical function, frictional contact …

In this practically oriented paper, representative examples of cap failures in a connecting rod
are discussed, and deeply dissimilar geometries of the cap cross section are presented. An …

The shear pin structure is widely used in aeronautics and astronautics structures to deal with
emergency structure separation problems. The shear pin design has a strict restriction on …
