desertfox, diamondjim: Thank you for your replies. desearfox: For example 2, - bolt_diameter = 0.25", - bolt_length = 2.4" + 0.3" + 0.375" + 0.05"(washer thickness), - upper_plate_hole_diameter = 0.275", - middle_plate_hole_diameter = 0.3125", I'd also like...

Hi, desert fox, yates, and VoyageofDiscovery: Thank you so much for your responses. To make myself a little clearer, my question was in the context of a space application and the requirement dictates that we should not consider friction. I had encountered several cases of bolt bending, and...

Hi, Thanks a lot for your reply. As I understand, bending of the shank may not be negligible if the bolt is of reasonable length. As an example, consider the case when the two end plates are 0.5" thick each, with a shim of 0.2" in between. If the bolt is subjected to a shear, what...

Hi, I am wondering if anyone could shed a light on the ways to calculate the bending moment due to shear, on the shank of a long bolt. More specifically, how to accurately determine the bending moment arm when the long bolt is subject to shear? Many thanks!
