Preloaded bolt 10

[NedGan76]

Howdy!

This is another tricky problem to check your knowledge and common engineering sense

Given a steel bolt in an infinitely stiff package. First, we tighten the nut until we prestress the bolt with a force P. Then, we pull the bolt with a force F. What is the final axial force inside the bolt (between the head and the nut):
A) P + F
B) F
C) P
D) other (please explain)

Cheers!

@ HTURKAK
You are quite resourceful!
could you recommend some German (Translated) structural textbooks?
Your people have entirely different and beautiful mindsets than others !
Anything for handbook in structural analysis (like portal-frames .. etc )
will be much appreciated
and thanks in advance...

Sometimes it is necessary to look reference books. The following figure is useful to remind the prestressing concept..
Copy and paste from Advanced Stress and Stability Analysis ( V. I. Feodosiev )

I'd love to find a video showing the spring scale experiment. I've looked for 20 minutes and haven't found one. Any chance you have one?

This video shows an animation, though not an actual experiment..

P until F exceeds P, then F

I also looked but could not see a video of an experiment. This could be tested if you have spring balance. The following excerpt from NORTON 4th edition shows the concept of preloading .

Use it up, wear it out;
Make it do, or do without.
