Q

How does a bolt work to hold the pieces together

A

Bolt Pre-Load / Stretch Load / Stretch

When the bolt is tightened it stretches
like a spring…A very stiff spring
This puts tension in the bolt and
compression in the joint

Needed to avoid material separation
Movement between the plates is dependant
on the bolt tension and the coefficient of
friction
Bolt/stud/screw stretches to cause pre-tension

Pre- Load Must Always Be > External Load
