Given Required
Bolt specs: M20 coarse pitch, 5.8 a). Does separation occur at
grade, rolled threads max Force?
Fi= 36KN, pre-load b). If not, at what maximum
Pmax= 36KN, Pmin=10KN external load does
Km/Kb=3, R=99% separation occur?
c). Find the factor of safety
against fatigue failure.
To find if separation occurs, calculate the factor of
safety against joint separation using the joint
stiffness constant
Fi ≔ 36 kN
Pmin ≔ 10 kN
Pmax ≔ 36 kN ratio ≔ 3

a) no ≔ ――――― →―
Pmax ⋅ ((1 - C)) 3
no = 1.333 Since no (Factor of safety against joint separation)
is >1, separation hasn't occurred yet.
b). Let Pseparation be the load at solve , Pseparation
Fi
which separation occurs, then at 1 ＝ ――――――――――― → 48 ⋅ kN
that load, no=1 Pseparation ⋅ ((1 - C))
Pseparation ≔ 48 ⋅ kN <<Answer to b).
c). Using ASME fatigue criteria, first we need to find σ a, σ m, σ i,
Se and Sp...where Se is the fully corrected endurance strength of
the bolt and Sp is the proof strength of the bolt.
From table 8-1, the tensile stress area, At, At ≔ 245 mm 2
for a nominal diameter bolt M20, is 245
mm^2

From table 8-11, for a steel bolt of From table 8-17, fully corrected
grade 5.8, the minimum proof endurance limit for rolled
strength is 380Mpa. threads, M16-M36, is 129 Mpa
Sp ≔ 380 MPa Se ≔ 129 MPa
To find factor of safety against fatigue for the ASME elliptic criteria, we need to find the
intersection point between ASME ellipse and load line. Then,
