The five-bolt connection shown in the figure must support an applied load of P = 270 kN. If the average shear stress in the bolts must be limited to 150 MPa, determine the minimum bolt diameter that may be used for this connection. Answer: dbolt
Added by Laura M.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the force acting on each bolt by dividing the total load by the number of bolts: \( F_{\text{bolt}} = \frac{270 \, \text{kN}}{5} = 54 \, \text{kN} = 54 \times 10^3 \, \text{N} \) Show more…

The shear stress-strain diagram for a steel alloy is shown above where τγ =350 MPa. The bolt with a 5 mm diameter is made of this material and used in the lap joint. Given that: v = 0.3, determine the force P (kN) required to cause the material to yield. Hint: Find yielding shear from figure.
