Bearing area
(OP)
I have a spacer being clamped between a nut and bolt. The length is quite short so buckling isn't a concern. The ID id fixed at .79" how thick (pick the OD and area) do I need to make it to withstand the preload about 24,000 lb and an external compressive load of 8,500 lb. I don't think just using the yield strength is adequate since it is really conservative.

RE: Bearing area
Incidently, you won't get an answer in this forum, more questions yes, but never an answer. Go with 1.188 inches as an OD.
