Question: The joint shown below is connected together using a 5 mm diameter bolt. When the force ( P ) is applied, the bolt

The joint shown below is connected together using a 5 mm diameter bolt. When the force \( P \) is applied, the bolt deforms. The bolt is made from a material having a shear stress-strain diagram that is approximated as shown. When a force P is applied, the bolt deforms by shear only. Note that stress-strain diagrams for shear stresses have the same features as those for normal stresses.
(a) Draw a diagram of the system showing the deformed bolt. Label shear stresses and strain.
(b) If a force \(\mathrm{P}=17.1\mathrm{kN}\) is applied, find the shear stress. Note that in this case you have two symmetric force couples in equilibrium. The sign (sense) of the strain is not important here.
(c) Find the shear modulus.
(d) Determine the permanent shear strain of the bolt when an applied force \( P=17.1\mathrm{kN}\) is removed. Again, the sign (sense) of the strain is not important.
