In this paper, formulas are developed for the calculation of the effective radius of the bearing friction forces on the rotating contact surface in threaded fasteners. These formulas provide a more accurate estimation of the underhead bearing friction torque component in threaded fastener applications. This enhances the reliability, safety, and the quality of bolted assemblies, especially in critical applications. It is well known that the torque-tension correlation in threaded fasteners, ...
