Characteristic Evaluation on Bolt Stress by Ultrasonic Nondestructive Methods by Qinxue Pan, Shuai Liu, Xiao Li, Chunguang Xu

“…Experimental and calculated results were compared for three bolt test samples: an austenitic stainless steel bolt (A2-70) and low-carbon steel 4.8 and 8.8 bolts. On average, the experimental results were in good agreement with those obtained through calculations, thus providing a nondestructive method for bolt stress measurements.…”
