Mechanics of Bolted Connections — Lesson 2, Part 3

Designing bolted joints involves more than just being aware of them and their various requirements. Therefore, in order to design an appropriate bolted joint, we need to understand how to compute and use their varied criteria. Further, how to determine joint and member stiffness is covered in this video. We have also covered the process of determining the working load and the force the bolt contributes to the assembly compared to other assembly elements. Finally, we discussed varied bolt failures, including bolt yielding and gap formation. // INTERESTED IN MORE?
