This article presents a new analytical method with a numerical solution to calculate load distribution in threaded connections. Our departure model was that suggested by D. G. Sopwith who has proposed the most recent and most tested theory. Our research consists in the introduction of conicity and, above all, in the development of the influence of boundary geometry (i.e. the nonthreaded section) on load distribution. Pipe joints are analyzed in special detail, supplying us with useful finite element method comparative results. [S0021-8936(00)02002-X]
