Подробнее о видео

This video was from 2 Decades ago. But still there is so much valuable information to follow.

Richard T. Barrett, Senior Aerospace Engineer of NASA Lewis Research Center presents a comprehensive course on fastener design. A recognized expert in the field of fastener technology Mr. Barrett combines lecture, charts, illustrations with real-world experiences. Topics covered include: materials, plantings and coatings, locking methods threads, joint stiffness, rivets, inserts, nut plates, thread lubricants, design criteria, etc.

Fastener design is the process of using engineering principles to design fasteners for use in a product, system, or structure. One of the best ways to learn fasteners, in particular, is to sit down with an experienced practitioner and listen to him or her explain the ups and downs of their career. Richard T. Barrett is an aerospace engineer (aerospace engineer) at NASA Lewis Research Center in Cleveland. He has been involved in aerospace and rocketry for over forty years, including work on the Space Program, rocket engines, and launch pads. He is one of the world's experts on the subject of fasteners and fastener design.

This course is a comprehensive study of fastener technology. While this course is designed for aerospace engineers, mechanical engineers will find it beneficial. This course is about materials, plants and coatings. There is a summary of locking methods, threads, joint stiffness, rivets and inserts. There is also a discussion of lubricants and design considerations.

The world has changed a lot since the Wright brothers took off from Kitty Hawk in 1903. We now live in a high-tech, high-stress society that demands more and more from our machines and equipment. This is particularly true in the aerospace and aviation industries—where today's airplanes must master more complex flight maneuvers, and where the need for high-speed, high-strength joints and fastening devices is even greater. In the past, many engineers relied on trial and error to design fasteners. But those days are over. Today, one of the fastest—and most economical—ways to design high-performing fasteners is to use the computer.

This course is presented as a comprehensive reference on aeronautical fasteners technology, and covers fasteners materials, fasteners plantings and coatings, fasteners locking methods, fastener threads, fastener joint stiffness, fasteners rivets, fasteners inserts, fastener nut plates, fastener thread lubricants, and design criteria. The course is presented with lecture, charts, illustrations, and real-world experiences, designed to help you understand aerospace fasteners and how to select the right technology for your application.
