BOLTED JOINTS
Different types of stresses developed
in screw fasteners due to initial
tightening and external load.
Combined effect of initial tightening
and external load on a bolted joint.
Leak proof joints and condition for
joint separation

Section of cylindrical pressure
vessel. Hexagon-head caps crews
are used to fasten the cylinder
head to the body. Note the use of
an O-ring seal. LG is the effective
length of the connection (See
Table 8-7) .

Procedure
Finding fastener Stiffness
To find different parameters use
table 8-7
for
In joint under tension the members are under compression and the
bolt under tension: kb = equivalent spring constant of bolt
composed of threaded kt and unthreaded kd parts acting as springs
in series.

At: tensile stress area (Tables 8-1, 8-2), lt: length of threaded
portion of the grip; Ad: major diameter area of fastener; ld:
length of unthreaded portion in grip. kb: is the estimated
effective stiffness of the bolt or cap screw in the clamped zone.
