In this article, you will learn about different types of support used in structure. There are basically three types of support and these are roller, pinned, and fixed support. There is a fourth support also called as simple support, it is generally not used in structures. Every support has its own field of application. Supports …
In this article, we will learn about the difference between bolt and screw. Almost in every part that we see around us, whether it is your laptop, mobile, car, motorcycle and a giant machine like an aeroplane, tanks, rockets, etc. all are made by bolts and screws. We all are familiar with the bolts and …
In this article, we will discuss the difference between nuts and bolts. The nuts and bolts are the types of fasteners that are used in every manufacturing industry to join two parts together. Here we will try to learn all the possible differences between nuts and bolts. What is Nut? It is a type of …
A bolt is a type of fastener which is used to join two parts together. The bolts join the part non- permanently i.e. the parts may be separated from each other by using an appropriate tool. Nuts are also used on the bolts so as to make the fastening process more effective. Image Source: Parts …
