A bolt connects two plates of an assembly whose combined stiffness is 4

times the stiffness of the bolt. The joint is subjected to an external load
which varies from 2 KN to 6 KN. The initial tightening force on the bolt is
1 4KN. The bolt used is M16 Coarse thread and is made of SAE 1025 10 CO3 L3
annealed steel with yield strength 370 MPa. Take A= 1.0, B=0.85, C = 0.9
and fatigue stress concentration factor = 5.0.Determine the factor of safety
used in design.
A Plate as shown in the fig below is subjected to an eccentric force P of 15
KN with an eccentricity of 450 mm from the CG of the bolts. The centre
distance between bolts 1 and 2 is 210 mm and the centre distance between
bolts 1 and 3 is 150 mm. All the bolts are identical. The bolts are made
from plane carbon steel 25C8 and the FOS is 2.5. Find the size of the bolts.

A sluice gate weighting 500kN is raised at a speed of 6 m/min by two

screw rods with square threads 50 × 8 mm. The two screw rods are driven

speed of rotation of the screw rods assuming the thread are triple start; (c)
efficiency of the screw; (d) Length of nuts required to support to load
taking the allowable bearing pressure 12MPa; (e) check for overhaul

Design a triple riveted butt joint with unequal cover plates and chain
riveting to connect two plates 20 mm thick. The allowable tensile stress for
4 the plate is 100 MPa and allowable shear and crushing stress for the plate is 10 CO4 L3
55 MPa and 110 MPa respectively. Sketch the joint and find its efficiency.

A bracket carrying a load of 15 KN as shown below. Find the size of the

weld required if the allowable shear stress is not to exceed 80 MPa.

5 10 CO4 L3

Design a Knuckle joint to transmit 150 KN. The design stress may be taken
6 10 CO4 L3
as 75MPa in tension, 60 MPa in shear and 150 MPa in crushing.
