Research on preload relaxation for composite pre-tightened tooth connections

Preload is the primary reason why pre-tightened tooth connections (PTTC) can transfer relatively large loads. However, creep of the composite would cause the preload relaxation, resulting in reducing bearing capacity of the connection. To study the preload relaxation of PTTC caused by the creep of c...
