Abstract
Fatigue tests under transverse vibration were performed for three separate tightening conditions to investigate the grip length and the engaging thread length in this study. The relationships between the apparent fatigue limit (the highest amplitude of transverse vibration force which can be applied to the bolted joint without generating fatigue) and the real fatigue limit of bolt material also were investigated. Results showed that apparent transverse fatigue limit decreased if the grip length was long. And relationships of the apparent fatigue limit and the real fatigue limit were different in each tightening conditions depending on the bending moment at the root of the first thread.
