Tensile Force on Bolt in Shear Formula Elements

Variables
Constants
Tensile Force in Bolt
Tensile Force in Bolt is the stretching force acting on the bolt and generally results in tensile stress and tensile strain in the specimen.
Symbol: Ptb
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Core Diameter of Bolt
Core Diameter of Bolt is defined as the smallest diameter of the thread of the bolt. The term “minor diameter” replaces the term “core diameter” as applied to the thread.
Symbol: dc
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Height of Nut
Height of Nut is defined as the height of the nut that is used in fitting to the bolt.
Symbol: h
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Shear Yield Strength of Bolt
Shear Yield Strength of Bolt is the strength of the bolt against the type of yield or structural failure when the material or component fails in shear.
Symbol: Ssy
Measurement: StressUnit: N/mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Factor of Safety of Bolted Joint
Factor of Safety of Bolted Joint expresses how much stronger a bolted joint system is than it needs to be for an intended load.
Symbol: fs
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Archimedes' constant
Archimedes' constant is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Symbol: π
Value: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
