eccentric circular bolt loads
eccentric circular bolt loads
(OP)
I have a circular pattern of bolts. One bolt in the pattern is missing. Given a single shear load aligned between any two bolts at "x" inches away from the shear plane.....What's a good method of finding bolt shear and tension on each bolt?

in the full circle. The one missing
bolt has little effect if you have
many bolts in the pattern. I think
I still have a method that was used
for segmented bolt patterns lying around
my office somewhere. Is the shear
about one of the neutral axis or across
the full circle pattern? Do you have
moment loading as well as radial
and axial loading?

Bolts in shear or friction is not ideal - should be a lip or dowel to take the shear.
Maleev's Machine Design p.124 has a section on calculating bracket bolt patterns like this.
