ABSTRACT
This chapter gives a compressed, but comprehensive and clearly structured view of the design of threaded fastening systems as an example for fastening of components in general. Formulae are given to transfer the aspects to own problems, but there is no space to derive them, so they are proposed and concentrated in figures. The aim is to present an effective engineering tool for optimized fastening of components, especially if made of materials this book deals with. To realize this, some basic concepts are discussed to aid the reader.
