STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Primary shear load on bolt = External Force on Bolt/Number of Bolts in Joint
P1' = Pext/n
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Primary shear load on bolt - (Measured in Newton) - Primary shear load on bolt is defined as the force acting in a direction parallel to a surface or to a planar cross-section of the bolt.
External Force on Bolt - (Measured in Newton) - The External Force on Bolt is defined as the forces caused by an external agent present outside of the system.
Number of Bolts in Joint - Number of Bolts in Joint is simply defined as the number of bolts that are under our consideration in a jointed assembly.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
External Force on Bolt: 6000 Newton --> 6000 Newton No Conversion Required
Number of Bolts in Joint: 4 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula

What is a fastener?

A fastener or fastening is a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. In general, fasteners are used to create non-permanent joints; that is, joints that can be removed or dismantled without damaging the joining components.

How to Calculate Primary Shear Force on each Bolt?
