Resolve the torque capacity of the 8"x12" bolted flange for friction.
Use equation 18.1(b), page 677, "Fundamentals of Machine Component Design", Second Ed., (c) 1991 Juvinall and
Marshek.

1. Friction Restraint

ksi := 1000psi kipf := 1000lbf Specify ksi, kipf units.

Tmax := 57282lbf ⋅ ft Tmax = 687 kipf ⋅ in Maximum breakout torque of ECI900 top drive.

ri := 1.990in ÷ 2 Radius of the alignment pin hole.

w Outer radius of region 1.

ro :=

f := 0.4 Static friction factor of mating surfaces.

ASTM A-193 B7 - 3/4"-10 UNC stud properties:

At := 0.334in Tensile stress area of 3/4"-10 UNC stud.

Sy
Sp := 105ksi Sy := Sp Ssy := Proof stress, yield stress, and shear yield stress (by distortion

Af := l ⋅ w − π ⋅ ri − Nb ⋅ − (4 − π )⋅ rc2 Contact area of mating flanges, not including alignment pin hole,
4 stud holes, and corner rounds.

p :=
(
Nb ⋅ 0.55⋅ Sp ⋅ At ) Contact pressure of mating flanges due to tension of studs,
Af p = 3724 psi
assuming that the mating flanges are rigid.
See page 382 ibid., bolt tension to be approx. 55% of proof due
to variations in tightening and subsequent relaxation.

T3 = 71 kipf ⋅ in

T1 + T2 + T3 = 540 kipf ⋅ in

T1 + T2 + T3
SF := SF = 0.79 Safety factor of bolted flanges to withstand full
Tmax breakout torque.
If the studs were to be torqued to 75% of proof, the safety factor
compared to full breakout torque is greater than 1.0.
It is possible for the flanges to slip at full breakout torque,
causing the studs to be loaded in shear.

2. Frictionless Stud Restraint

Sw := 2.188in Sl := 2.100in Stud spacing along depth and width of 8x12 flange.

R1 := + Sl ⋅ 2.5 Stud centre distances from track centre.
Four studs each with the same radius relative to track centre.

R3 := + Sl ⋅ 1.5

R4 := + Sl ⋅ 0.5

V1 := 1lbf V2 := 1lbf V3 := 1lbf V4 := 1lbf Initial guesses necessary to find iterative solution.

V1 V2 V3 V4 System of equations solving maximum stud shear force.

Given = = =
R1 R2 R3 R4 It is assumed that each stud carries a tangential shear force
proportional to the distance of the stud from the centre of rotation.

(
Vmax := max Find V1 , V2 , V3 , V4 ( ))
Vmax = 10676 lbf Maximum stud tangential shear force at maximum breakout torque.

τ max heaviest-loaded stud compared to shear yield assuming frictionless
interface.
