When was the last time you overheard someone at the local track or gas station brag about a new set of bolts? You don't remember? It was probably never. Let's face facts: Bolts don't glimmer and shine ...

Measuring torque when installing threaded fasteners is the best indicator of future joint performance, right? Actually, bolt tension is a better performance indicator, but measuring torque is far ...

Evaluating tribological properties such as friction coefficients, friction forces, and torques for arbitrary material pairs, with high precision is crucial for multiple areas of research and industry.

I'm trying to calculate the friction torque between to flat surfaces rotating against one another, and can't find any examples of this particular problem for guidance--only for rotating cylinders.
