BOLT STIFFNESS

TOPIC 6.2 (Bolt Assembly – Stiffness of BOLT, stiffness of joint

Consider the bolt M14 including nut with dc= d= 14 mm; dr= d1= 11.835 mm

to standard). The length of shank Ls= 17 mm ; length of threaded part
Lt=.8 mm.
Using the following
Fundamentals of Machinecalculating model
Elements, pp. (Fig.16.12) (replacing Ls with Lse; Lt

with Lte), Young’s modulus of bolt material E=206,800 MPa, calculate the stiffness
of this bolt

Hints
𝐿!" = 𝐿! + 0.4 ∗ 𝑑# = 22.600 𝑚𝑚

𝐿$" = 𝐿$ + 0.4 ∗ 𝑑𝑟 = 12.734 𝑚𝑚

Area of the shank part:
As= 153.938 mm2
Area of the threaded part:
At= 110.008 mm2
The stiffness of the shank part is calculated as:
