A load P is applied horizontally while the other end is fixed to a structure. where P = 185 N You have already examined the axial stresses inside the plates. In this problem, the bolted connections will be analyzed. Failure means that the pieces come apart because the bolts cannot hold the force. If two bolts are connecting the two plates, how much transverse force V must each bolt resist at each sheare joint?

Abraham Beasley · Answer 1

The bolt is under double shear because it connects 3 plates.

Now the shear force resisted by each shear joint (V):

V=P / (No. of shear area) = 185/2=92.5N.
