The ISO global testing standard is specified by ISO 3800:1993. Axial load fatigue testing is performed by applying cyclic loading to a preloaded bolted joint. Bolted joints are evaluated with Axial load fatigue tests to understand the degree of cyclic loading required to fail a joint. Under what conditions do bolts fail from fatigue failure?īolts fail from fatigue failure when exposed to cyclic loading which exceeds a certain amplitude. Over 90% of bolt breakage cases are resultant from Fatigue failure. There are many reasons as to why bolts break. Or, if you’d like to join the general conversation in the forums or on Discord.As mentioned on our “Factors influencing thread loosening” page, preload loss (bolt loosening) is one of the underlying causes of bolt breakage. If you'd like to get involved with our Bolt development teams and learn more about involvement in our alpha and beta programs, check out the forum. We’ll have more to share about our work on visual scripting in the coming months, so please stay tuned. We’re also working to refine our various node-based tools to improve the general user experience progressively, over time, across the Editor. Bolt is an acceleration of this mission towards providing that experience. We are committed to providing a great visual scripting experience for users for all types of projects, regardless of the architecture. More information to come later this year. When it arrives, Bolt 2 will also be included in all Unity plans at no additional cost.

The next version of Bolt, Bolt 2, which will bring improvements in capability, scalability, performance, and ease of use is in development. We’ll be sending an email to those users within the next two weeks. Users who purchased Bolt after Unity made the acquisition announcement on will receive a refund in the amount of their purchase. We believe the world is a better place with more creators in it, and we know that visual scripting is a critical part of bringing ideas to life quickly in Unity.īolt is now available for download by all Unity users through the Unity Asset Store.
