Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Great for static/fixed equipment engineers to understand both the theory and practical joint practices (maintenance and design aspects). Easier to follow than a text book, but much more in depth then any handbook you'll find. It's a must have for any mechanical engineers library.

Lots of great information with many details to thing through when using bolts. I would recommend to anyone designing many bolted connections.

This book is THE go-to book for designing bolted joints. Any design engineer who will be working with bolted joints should consider owning this book.

Great book. This is for the engineer and not the hobbyist. It has heavy duty math meant for design engineers.

a great overview

April 4, 2009

Format: Hardcover

This book provides an insightful and practical first look at the complex science of bolting. I found the first half of the book to be quite practical in familiarizing the reader with concepts that would be developed further in later sections. The author does a good job in giving the reader a look at several types of different design techniques, including the ones outlined by the german engineering society VDI. The book gives solid outlines to various design processes, but is not a textbook to tell you exactly how to design every joint. The reason for this is that bolted joints are extremely complex mechanical systems that are often simplified by quite conservative codified procedures. If the reader is looking for those codified design procedures, purchase books by the PVRC, ASME, etc. instead, but know that this book gives a wider perspective of the entire design process.

Bickford is the man.

August 3, 2009

Format: Hardcover

Having read several books on the bolted joint, let me say that Bickford is the man. He's the father of bolted joint study. Don't waste your money on his other book which is a selection articles, this is the one to get.

I give it 4/5 because it is very light on shear joints and could be written in a more concise manner. Also, to fully understand bolted joints, the IFI Inch Fasteners Standards book is also needed.

Otherwise a totally solid intro to the bolted joint.

A Must For Design Engineers

May 26, 2000

Format: Hardcover

This book covers all the fundamental issues related to bolts and bolted joints. It is very easy to read, and does not go too deeply into technical subjects, but gives the reader a full appreciation for the issues involved. As a materials engineer I appreciated the section on bolting materials. As a design engineer, I found the sections on designing bolted joints very helpful. As Plato expressed long ago, the wiser you are, the less you realize you know. After reading this book, design engineers not familiar with all the issues will likely not take bolts and bolted joints for granted.

Great reference

February 13, 2008

Format: Hardcover

Bought this book for mechanical department reference. A lot of good information and it covers all the technical aspects, yet you can read through it actually fairly easily. It has the equations you need but not all the integrals, etc. on how they are arrived at (like college textbooks) so you don't get bogged down. Good section on bolting diagrams. It is a thick text, but I was able to read most of it in 3 days - try doing that w/ your college text!

Useless for the working engineer

John H Bickford does not write books to teach you how to do an actual bolt calculation with or without a gasket.Read more

Great reference book

I just bought this book for my reference. It help me to design mechanical joint so that the fastening bolt will not back out during severe shock. Great book.
