Bolt Stress Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Bolt Stress?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
fs=π4(dn-0.9743dp)2
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
fs=π4(2.8mm-0.97435mm)2
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
fs=3.14164(2.8mm-0.97435mm)2
Next Step Convert Units
fs=3.14164(0.0028m-0.97430.005m)2
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
fs=3.14164(0.0028-0.97430.005)2
Next Step Evaluate
fs=183029.041805525Pa
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
fs=0.183029041805525N/mm²
LAST Step Rounding Answer
fs=0.183N/mm²

How to Evaluate Bolt Stress?

Bolt Stress evaluator uses Shear Stress in Bolt = pi/(4*(Nominal Bolt Diameter-0.9743*Pitch Diameter)^2) to evaluate the Shear Stress in Bolt, The Bolt Stress formula is defined as is a physical quantity used to measure the critical stress area or the minimum area of the threaded section of a bolt. Shear Stress in Bolt is denoted by fs symbol.

How to evaluate Bolt Stress using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Bolt Stress, enter Nominal Bolt Diameter (dn) & Pitch Diameter (dp) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Bolt Stress

What is the formula to find Bolt Stress?
The formula of Bolt Stress is expressed as Shear Stress in Bolt = pi/(4*(Nominal Bolt Diameter-0.9743*Pitch Diameter)^2). Here is an example- 1.8E-7 = pi/(4*(0.0028-0.9743*0.005)^2).
How to calculate Bolt Stress?
With Nominal Bolt Diameter (dn) & Pitch Diameter (dp) we can find Bolt Stress using the formula - Shear Stress in Bolt = pi/(4*(Nominal Bolt Diameter-0.9743*Pitch Diameter)^2). This formula also uses Archimedes' constant .
Can the Bolt Stress be negative?
No, the Bolt Stress, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Bolt Stress?
Bolt Stress is usually measured using the Newton per Square Millimeter[N/mm²] for Pressure. Pascal[N/mm²], Kilopascal[N/mm²], Bar[N/mm²] are the few other units in which Bolt Stress can be measured.
