Lecture

Mechanical Joining: Fasteners and Integral Joints

Description

This lecture covers mechanical joining techniques, focusing on fasteners and integral joints. Fasteners like screws, rivets, and clips offer advantages in reliability and ease of disassembly, but may have limitations in strength and long-term durability. Integral joints, such as snap fits and press fits, provide alternatives for assembling dissimilar materials without tools, with considerations for stress distribution and process limitations. The lecture also explores specific types of fasteners, like molded-in inserts and eyelets, as well as hinge design considerations and the use of Velcro in various applications.
