Review
Abstract
The paper gives a bibliographical review of finite element methods applied for the analysis of fastening and joining from the theoretical as
well as practical points of view. The bibliography at the end of the paper contains 726 references to papers and conference proceedings on the
subject that were published between 1990 and 2002. These are classified in the following categories: pin joints; thread connections; bolted
joints, screws, nuts; rivets; fittings; tubular joints; expansion joints; gaskets; and other types of fastening.

1. Introduction
The output of scientific papers in general is fast growing
and professionals are no longer able to be fully up-to-date
with all the relevant information. The increasing specialization in various engineering fields has resulted in the
proliferation of subject-oriented journals and conference
proceedings directed to specialist audiences. The researchers have more channels for communicating the results of
their research at their disposal, but on the other hand finding
the necessary information may be a time-consuming and
uneasy process. Another question is whether researchers/
scientists are willing to spend time looking for information.
It has been pointed out that in engineering, informal
knowledge channels are the most frequently used means
of obtaining information.
In the last almost four decades the finite element method
(FEM) has become the prevalent technique used for
analyzing physical phenomena in the field of structural,
solid, and fluid mechanics as well as for the solution of field
problems.
Fastening and joining are defined as an act of bringing
together, connecting or uniting to becoming one or a unit.
There are many types of fasteners such as bolts and nuts,
adhesive bonds, welds, etc. This paper concentrates mainly
