But a professoratCaliforniaPolytechnicStateUniversity,SanLuisObispohasdisruptedthat notion. Saeed Niku, a professorof mechanical engineering at Cal Poly working with studentsinoneofhisclasses,hasdevelopedthe“FlexibleFastener,”aboltdesignedto bend.Attheheartofthefastenerisashankmadeofastrong,yet lexiblematerialsuchas Kevlar,nylon,steelcable,orwirerope.Threadsmadeofsteelcoiledlikeaspringwrap aroundthecoreandarebondedtoitalongthelengthandateachend,alongwithahead atoneend.

Aftertheclassended,Nikutookovertheprojectandre inedthedesign.TheNational Collegiate Innovators and Inventors Alliance and the Lemelson Foundation initially fundedtheeffort. TheFlexibleFastenercanbemadeinmanydifferentsizes,fromassmallas 3/16 inch in diameter to as large as desired. According to Jim Dunning, program managerinCalPoly’sOf iceofResearchandEconomicDevelopment,whichengages industrythroughtheCaliforniaCentralCoastResearchPartnership,thefastenercanbe manufacturedtovariousdegreesofrigidity.Nikusaidthefastenercanbeusedwith “anything basically that is not parallel or aligned or needs to move sideways.” In construction, it can attach parts with non-parallel surfaces without a need for countersinks,asinatruss.Itcanbeusedinrepairingandrefurbishingproductsand structureswhereholesdonotlineuporaremisplaced.Youcanactuallyjustbenda screwintothenon-parallelsurfacesandattachthem.Itcanalsobeusedinrobotics applicationswheresimultaneouslateralcomplianceandaxialstiffnessisdesired,asin attachinga ixturetotherobotthatcanmovesidewaysforassembly. Sharingyourknowledgeisawaytoachieveimmortality 1 kprmech11@yahoo.co.in TECHNOLOGYNEWS Newsletter DepartmentofMechanicalEngineering Similarly, the fastener can be used in medical applications such as in arti icial knees, where bending is desired between different parts whiletheyremainattachedorwhereyouneed to move sideways because the holes don’t match. And Dunning adds, “An application I always have in mind is a seismic retro it project.” The bolt’s lateral lexibility allows wholestructuresto lextobetterwithstandthe joltofanearthquake. Nikureceivedapatenton the Flexible Fastener in 2005, and now the Research Partnership, known as C3RP, is attemptingtolicenseit.“Weseekapartnerwillingtoinvestthetimeandtoolingto indoutexactlywhattheoptimum manufacturingwouldbe,”Dunningsaid.
