Abstract

See full text

A method may include rotating a threaded fastener at a first rotational speed to provide a kinetic energy force component for the fastener based on the first rotational speed and driving the fastener into a structure based on the rotating. The structure may provide a torsional resistance during the driving greater than a torsional strength of the fastener. The driving may provide a torque force component applied to the fastener. The driving may cut threads into the structure with the fastener. The driving may apply a total force to the structure from the fastener including the kinetic energy force component and the torque force component. The total force applied by the fastener may be greater than or equal to a force required for the cutting. The torque force component may be less than a torsional strength of the fastener.
