TORQUE is a program, which is designed to assist the Engineer in the resolution of problems, related to the torque tightening of threaded fasteners. The program determines both tensile stress due to the elongation of the fastener, and the torsional stress due to the applied torque. It accounts for the frictional effects in the thread, between the nut face, and clamped surface. Account can also be made for the effects of a reduced shank diameter (smaller than the thread size), and a prevailing torque.
