Some tips for preventing bolts from loosening when designing a joint:
1. Use the joint in a low vibration environment
2. Use bolts with fine threads (small pitch)
3. Use a large preload
4. Use materials with high coefficients of friction
5. Use Loctite on the threads
6. Use an adhesive between the bolt head and flange
7. Use lock washers
