Releasable multi-section fastener coupling: NikeRecent Research Landscape

Mechanical fastening failure occurs when shear forces exceed the engagement strength of micro-scale connectors. This technology engineers the geometry of coupled slider systems to ensure secure yet releasable attachment.

What technical problems is Nike addressing in Releasable multi-section fastener coupling?

Insecure fastener attachment under tension

(14)evidences

Mechanical fasteners often suffer from unintended loosening or slippage under dynamic loads. Preventing spontaneous release ensures consistent fit and safety in high-performance applications.

Mating component axial misalignment

(3)evidences

Accumulation of particulates and moisture within connection interfaces causes electrical failure or mechanical jamming. Preventing ingress ensures long-term signal integrity and physical reliability in exposed environments.
