Bolted Joint Stiffnesses

 During bolt preload


◦ bolt is stretched
◦ members in grip are
compressed
 When external load P is
applied
◦ Bolt stretches further
◦ Members in grip Fig. 8–13

soft bolt spring in parallel
with a stiff member spring

 Use Eq. (8–20) to find stiffness for each frustum


 Combine all frusta as springs in series

Member Stiffness for Common Material in Grip

 If the grip consists of any number of members all of the same


material, two identical frusta can be added in series. The entire
joint can be handled with one equation,

Finite Element Approach to Member Stiffness

element model agrees with the frustum model

Bolt Materials

 Grades specify material, heat treatment, strengths


◦ Table 8–9 for SAE grades
◦ Table 8–10 for ASTM designations
◦ Table 8–11 for metric property class
 Grades should be marked on head of bolt

Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design


Bolt Materials

 Proof load is the maximum load that


a bolt can withstand without
acquiring a permanent set
 Proof strength is the quotient of proof
load and tensile-stress area
◦ Corresponds to proportional limit
◦ Slightly lower than yield strength
◦ Typically used for static strength of
bolt
 Good bolt materials have stress-strain
curve that continues to rise to fracture

Stiffness Constant
 Since P = Pb + Pm,

 C is defined as the stiffness constant of the joint

 C indicates the proportion of external load P that the bolt will


carry. A good design target is around 0.2.

Bolt and Member Loads

 The resultant bolt load is

 The resultant load on the members is

 These results are only valid if the load on the members remains
negative, indicating the members stay in compression.

Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design


Relating Bolt Torque to Bolt Tension
 Best way to measure bolt preload is by relating measured bolt
elongation and calculated stiffness
 Usually, measuring bolt elongation is not practical
 Measuring applied torque is common, using a torque wrench
 Need to find relation between applied torque and bolt preload

Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design


Relating Bolt Torque to Bolt Tension
 From the power screw equations, Eqs. (8–5) and (8–6), we get

 Applying tanl = l/pdm,

 Assuming a washer face diameter of 1.5d, the collar diameter is


dc = (d + 1.5d)/2 = 1.25d, giving

Relating Bolt Torque to Bolt Tension

 Define term in brackets as torque coefficient K

Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design


Typical Values for Torque Coefficient K

 Some recommended values for K for various bolt finishes is


given in Table 8–15
 Use K = 0.2 for other cases

Distribution of Preload vs Torque

 Measured preloads for 20 tests at same torque have considerable


variation
◦ Mean value of 34.3 kN
◦ Standard deviation of 4.91
Table 8–13

Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design


Distribution of Preload vs Torque

 Same test with lubricated bolts


◦ Mean value of 34.18 kN (unlubricated 34.3 kN)
◦ Standard deviation of 2.88 kN (unlubricated 4.91 kN)
Table 8–14

 Lubrication made little change to average preload vs torque


 Lubrication significantly reduces the standard deviation of
preload vs torque

Fatigue Loading of Tension Joints

 Fatigue methods of Ch. 6 are directly applicable


 Distribution of typical bolt failures is
◦ 15% under the head
◦ 20% at the end of the thread
◦ 65% in the thread at the nut face
 Fatigue stress-concentration factors for threads and fillet are
given in Table 8–16

Endurance Strength for Bolts
 Bolts are standardized, so endurance strengths are known by
experimentation, including all modifiers discussed in chapter 6.
See Table 8–17.
 Fatigue stress-concentration factor Kf should not be applied to
the nominal bolt stresses.
 Ch. 6 methods can be used for cut threads.

and Pmax,

Yield Check with Fatigue Stresses

 As always, maximum stress must be checked for static yielding,


using Sp instead of Sy.
 In fatigue loading situations, since sa and sm are already
calculated, it may be convenient to check yielding with
