SAMPLE PROBLEM 10.5
Select Bolts for Bracket Attachment, Neglecting
Friction, and Assuming Shear Forces Are Carried
by the Bolts
Repeat Sample Problem 10.4, except neglect the frictional forces.
SOLUTION
Known: Three SAE class 9.8 steel bolts having a specified safety factor are used to attach a bracket of
known geometry that supports a known vertical load.
Find: Select an appropriate bolt size.
Schematic and Given Data: See Sample Problem 10.4 and Figure 10.32.
Assumptions:
The shear forces caused by the eccentric vertical load are carried completely by the bolts.
The vertical shear load is distributed equally among the three bolts.
The tangential shear force carried by each bolt is proportional to its distance from the center of gravity
of the group of bolts.Analysis:
Neglecting friction has no effect on bolt stresses in the threaded region, where attention was focused
on Sample Problem 10.4. For this problem, attention is shifted to the bolt shear plane (at the interface
between bracket and fixed plate). This plane experiences the tensile force of 87.27 kN calculated in
Sample Problem 10.4 in addition to the shear force calculated in the following step 2.
The applied eccentric shear force of 24kN(6)=144kN tends to displace the bracket downward and
alsorotate it clockwise about the center of gravity of the bolt group cross section. For three bolts of equal
size, the center of gravity corresponds to the centroid of the triangular pattern, as shown in Figure 10.33.
This figure shows the original applied load (dotted vector) replaced by an equal load applied at the
centroid (solid vector) plus a torque that is equal to the product of the force and the distance it was
moved. As assumed, each bolt carries one-third of the vertical shear load, plus a tangential force (with
respect to rotation about the center of gravity) that is proportional to its distance from the center of
gravity. Calculations on the figure show this tangential force to be 37.1 kN for each of the top bolts.
The vector sum of the two shear forces is obviously greatest for the upper right bolt. Routine calculation
shows V=81.5kN.
The critical upper right bolt is thus subjected to a tensile stress, =87,270A, and a shear stress,
=81,500? A. Substitution in the distrition energy equation gives an equivalent tensile stress of
e=2+322=1A(87,270)2+3(81,500)22=166,000A
Equating this to the proof stress gives
166,000A=Sp=650MPa
Therefore,
A=255mm2
Finally,
A=d24,or,d=4A2=4(255)2=18.03mm
Thus, a shank diameter of 18 mm is required.
