Please could the following question be answered and completed on a word document please.

The 14mm diameter steel bolt with modulus of elasticity of 210GPa and modulus of rigidity of 85 GPa shown in the diagram below holds two components together. The thickness of the bolted interface of the components is 18mm. To 2 decimal places, for the given loading:

Please could the following question be answered and completed on a word document please. 1

  1. Calculate the direct stress in the bolt at the centre of the joined components.

  2. Calculate the tensile strain experienced by the bolt.

  3. Calculate the change in length of the bolt.

  4. Calculate the shear stress applied to the bolt.

  5. Calculate the shear strain experienced by the bolt.


  1. Assuming the ultimate tensile stress is 490MN/m2 and the ultimate shear stress is 290MN/m2 determine the factor of safety in operation.
