Hi;
Let's assume we have a bolted joint clamped up through torque tightening, let's also assume that the assembly is fixed and we apply the torque to the nut, As you know the bolt shankwill strech but I was wondering if we can have a displacement of the bolt in the head side or just the nut side?
Thanks
 
You will have displacement throughout the bolt. The amount in a given location will depend on the stress distribution across the part.
