The preload of bolt is very important for bolt connection, because it affects the reliability and tightness of the connection. The best bolt mounting method for the control of preload is through a hydraulic stretching device. However, the initial tensile bolt preload is not equal to the final, as a result of elastic rebound deformation of bolt. This paper analyses the tensile resilience of hydraulic...
