Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
fsb=Tm(4π)(1(db2)n)(2D1)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
fsb=4680N*mm(4π)(1(21mm2)3)(2200mm)
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
fsb=4680N*mm(43.1416)(1(21mm2)3)(2200mm)
Next Step Convert Units
fsb=4.68N*m(43.1416)(1(0.021m2)3)(20.2m)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
fsb=4.68(43.1416)(1(0.0212)3)(20.2)
Next Step Evaluate
fsb=45039.7662083187Pa
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
fsb=0.0450397662083187N/mm²

Variables
Constants
Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt Material
Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt Material is the value obtained from coupling material experimental data. In addition, the value is slightly different for each material.
Symbol: fsb
Measurement: StressUnit: N/mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Maximum Torque
Maximum torque means the highest value of the net torque measured at full engine load.
Symbol: Tm
Measurement: TorqueUnit: N*mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Diameter of Bolt
Diameter of Bolt is the distance from the outer thread on one side to the outer thread on the other side. This is called the major diameter and will usually be the proper size of the bolt.

How to Evaluate Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt?

Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt evaluator uses Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt Material = Maximum Torque*(4/pi)*(1/((Diameter of Bolt^2)*Number of Bolts))*(2/Pitch Circle Diameter of Bolts) to evaluate the Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt Material, The Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt formula is defined as strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure when the material or component fails in shear. A shear load is a force that tends to produce a sliding failure on a material along a bolt that is parallel to the direction of the force. Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt Material is denoted by fsb symbol.

How to evaluate Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Allowable Shear Strength of Bolt, enter Maximum Torque (Tm), Diameter of Bolt (db), Number of Bolts (n) & Pitch Circle Diameter of Bolts (D1) and hit the calculate button.
