Question 1

1 po ints

A screw jack using 30-mm square threads advances 2 mm with every turn. The jack is lubricated so that the friction factor between the mating threads is estimated to be 0.01. Is this jack self-locking? Neglect the collar friction. Yes No

Question 2

2 po ints

Save Answer

A static load of F=55 kN on the joint is held by three M22x2.5 Grade 4.6 bolts. The bolts are preloaded to a tension of 40 kN each. The bolt and joint stiffnesses are kb=1000 MN/m and kc=2500 MN/m, respectively. What is the ratio of the maximum bolt stress to the proof stress? (Pick the nearest answer) Note: kb is the stiffness of one bolt and kc refers to joint stiffness per bolt.

83%

66% 92% 15%

Question 3

Save Answer

Estimate the torque (as N-m) required to apply the preload for the bolted connection of Question 5.2.

Question 4

A steel bracket is connected using nine M20x1.5 Grade 8.8 bolts (fine thread series) with rolled threads. a = 70 mm L = 320 mm F = 120 kN The bolts are pretensioned to 75% of their proof stress. Assume the plates are much stiffer than the bolts.

Calculate what minimum coefficient of friction is needed to transmit the load F by means of friction between the joints. Do not include the AS4100 capacity factor in this calculation.

Question 5

If question 4 is answered using AS4100 to estimate the shear load capacity of the joint, what is the maximum load F in kN that can be carried?

Question 6

Save Answer

Solve Question 4 assuming there is no preloading. Calculate the factor of safety, if the bolts transmit the shear load.

Question 7

Save Answer

If the load in Question 4 now varies at 5Hz from 0 to 120kN, with the preload present, and we now regard joint stiffness as being 3 times bolt stiffness, what is the worst amplitude of oscillation of alternating stress in a bolt in MPa, allowing for a fatigue stress concentration factor?

Question 8

1 po ints

Save Answer

Again suppose the load F in Question 4 varies between 0 and 120 kN at the rate of 5 Hz. The bolts are still preloaded to 75% of the proof stress. Based on the assumptions already stated in the text of Q4, will this connection fail in fatigue?

Yes No

Question 9

Fatigue tests are carried out on the bolted connection design of Question 4 by applying a fluctuating force of 0-F kN at the tip of the bracket as shown in the Q4 image. The load is applied at the centreline so that the shear load is shared between the bolts equally. The bolts are now preloaded to 90% of the proof strength, and the joint stiffness is finite. Many copies are fabricated and tested to destruction at various values of load F. The bolt stresses are monitored during the tests using strain gauges. On the Goodman diagram below, as the load is increased, which of the following
