Types of Joints

INTRODUCTION

Fastener is an important member since machine is a huge structure, so for joining two plates together joining elements are needed. Because machine can’t be made as a single component. It is made up by different components
joined together. If joining element is weak it will give some effect on machine assembly which reduces the performance of machine.

There are generally two types of joints:

• Non permanent joint : If we disassemble that there is no effect on mating component.
• Permanent joint : If we disassemble that there is some negative effect on the mating component (strength may be reduced).
