The tightening force of a bolt is crucial to the reliability of the joint connection. Loosening or over-tightening of a bolt may lead to connectors slipping or bolt strength failure, which are both harmful to the main structure. In most practical cases it is extremely difficult, even impossible, to install the bolts to ensure there is a precise tension force during the construction phase. Furthermore, it is inevitable that the bolts will loosen due to long-term usage under high stress. The identification of bolt tension is therefore of great significance for monitoring the health of existing structures. This paper reviews state-of-the-art research on bolt tightening force measurement and loosening detection, including fundamental theories, algorithms, experimental set-ups, and practical applications. In general, methods based on the acoustoelastic principle are capable of calculating the value of bolt axial stress if both the time of incident wave and reflected wave can be clearly recognized. The relevant commercial instrument has been developed and its algorithm will be briefly introduced. Methods based on contact dynamic phenomena such as wave energy attenuation, high-order harmonics, sidebands, and impedance, are able to correlate interface stiffness and the clamping force of bolted joints with respective dynamic indicators. Therefore, they are able to detect or quantify bolt tightness. The related technologies will be reviewed in detail. Potential challenges and research trends will also be discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20113165","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,3]],"date-time":"2020-06-03T04:12:09Z","timestamp":1591157529000},"page":"3165","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":161,"title":["A Review of Bolt Tightening Force Measurement and Loosening Detection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Rusong","family":"Miao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bridge Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruili","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bridge Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Songhan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, College of Architecture and Environment, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Songling","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bridge Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Temitope, S.J.
