Bolted Joint Analysis Calculator

Bolted joint analysis involves stiffness, preload, and external loads.The formula is given by:

Where:

• $K$ is the stiffness of the joint.
• Fmax​ is the maximum axial force the joint can withstand before failure.
• Fmin​ is the minimum axial force to maintain joint contact.
• $d$ is the axial displacement of the joint due to the external load.
