Effect of angle of thread inclination and equivalent radius on energy dissipation in screw joints

Wojciech Kaczmarek
The paper presents the problem of structural friction appearing in a screw joint with frictional and elastic-frictional effects between its elements. Two mathematical models of the screw joint taking into acount Lame's problem are analysed.
