Hello all,
I am trying to calculate the steel plate thickness of a bolted joint and I would like some recommendations on the best approach.
Situation:
I have a bolted joint that for simplicity sake has a plate on top, a plate on bottom, with a horse shoe gusset welded between the top and...
Yes it has a clearance hole and I think you are referring to alignment pins and dowels that are usually in pure shear but I know our maintenance department and I fear they will not tighten the bolts with the proper pre load to prevent the bolts from seeing a cyclical shear load. Do you recommend...
I am wondring if there is an endurance limit to adjust the ultimate tensile strength of bolts in fatigue shear loading. I am using Se=.5*Sut for Sut<200ksi developed from the Rotaing-Beam test for tensile fatigue loading.
I am designing a frame that will hold a disc brake system to stop a...
