A piezoelectric load-sensing washer being developed by a professor and a recent graduate at The University of Alabama in Huntsville provides a more accurate way to measure the clamping force exerted ...

When was the last time you overheard someone at the local track or gas station brag about a new set of bolts? You don't remember? It was probably never. Let's face facts: Bolts don't glimmer and shine ...

This story appears in the Nov. 3 print edition of Transport Topics. Maintaining proper wheel torque requires a lot more than simply clamping down on lug nuts. Clean mounting surfaces and adequate ...

Rather than using conventional bolts, some automakers rely on torque-to-yield bolts for specific engines. But why are these used over more traditional options?

Torque is an important factor in much of the equipment on a factory floor. Measuring torque is often something that's misunderstood, which can lead to over- under-designing of measurement systems.
