Mechanical Fasteners and Joints: Design & Function

Mechanical Joints and Fasteners

Fixed Joints

Fixed joints are used for joining thin, flat pieces that cannot support welded parts, or where welds might cause internal tensions and deform the material. Riveting is a common method for creating fixed joints.

Types of Riveted Joints

  • Lap Joints: Where two pieces overlap and are riveted together.
  • Butt Joints with Single Cover Plate: Where two pieces are on the same plane and are linked together by a single riveted plate (cover plate) that joins both pieces.

Complete Crown Tooth Preparation Protocol

Understanding Complete Dental Crowns

Dental crowns represent a crucial intervention, often considered a last resort to preserve a compromised tooth. They are particularly useful when a tooth requires significant recontouring to restore its normal anatomy and function. Crowns offer superior retention and resistance compared to other restorative options. A complete crown, also known as a full crown or full coverage casting, encases the entire tooth structure.

Indications for Crown Placement

Types of Industrial Paint Coatings

Epoxy-Asphalt/Coal Tar Paint

Consisting of a mixture of epoxy and asphalt or coal tar, these paints offer excellent water resistance and good adhesion to steel and cement. They maintain adhesion over a long period of exposure and have excellent chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, and salts. They have the ability to achieve high film build in a few layers. However, they have limited resistance to weathering and are only available in dark colors.

Commonly used on steel and cement surfaces where good

Material Mechanical Property Testing

Shock Testing

Shock trials distort the fragility or ability of a material to absorb instantaneous loads. They check if a machine or structure fails or becomes brittle under working conditions.

Charpy Methods

Flexion by shock on simply supported bars. The specimens are placed flat on the machine with the notch opposite to the impact point.

Izod Methods

Flexion by shock on an embedded bar. The cantilever specimen is placed in a vertical position with the notch facing the impact.

Fatigue Testing

Fatigue is
