The document summarizes key concepts about screws, fasteners, and bolted joints from Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design textbook. It discusses thread standards and definitions, types of bolts and screws, mechanics of power screws, stiffness of bolted joints, preload in bolts, and factors that affect fatigue loading of bolted joints. Examples are provided to illustrate calculation of power screw torque and analysis of bolted joint stiffness.
