Want to claculate force on a plate when they are bolted
Want to claculate force on a plate when they are bolted
(OP)
Hi,
May be it is a very simple question. I need some help to calculate clamp force when two parallel plates are bolted by 2 or 4 bolts.
May be I can use the equation T=(K*D*W). But I would like to know when 2 or 4 bolts are used over two rectangular plates (2"x2") how the clamp force will be changed. Is there any handbook or software available to select a bolt diameter, no. of bolts and length where clamp force is pre-selected.
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
Suzan
