Problem 2: Two stainless steel plates are connected by a single bolt. The plates are 20cm wide and 2cm thick. The bolt has a diameter of 2.5cm. The applied load is P=10kN.
Determine: a) The shear stress in the bolt.
b) If the allowable shear stress is 410MPa, will the bolt fail?
(a) Two steel plates bolted using one bolt.
(0) Elevation showing the bolt in shear.
Solution:
