  2. Bolt thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_thrust

    Bolt thrust or breech pressure is a term used in internal ballistics and firearms (whether small arms or artillery) that describes the amount of rearward force exerted by the propellant gases on the bolt or breech of a firearm action or breech when a projectile is fired. The applied force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector ...

  3. Bolted joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint

    The curve representing a clamped parts-to-bolt stiffness ratio of 0.01 shows that when the relative stiffness of the clamped parts is very low, almost all of the load is transferred to the bolt, down to the point where a compressive load equals the preload, and separation at the bolt head occurs, reducing the force in the bolt to zero.

  4. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    For example, if a person places a force of 10 N at the terminal end of a wrench that is 0.5 m long (or a force of 10 N acting 0.5 m from the twist point of a wrench of any length), the torque will be 5 N⋅m – assuming that the person moves the wrench by applying force in the plane of movement and perpendicular to the wrench.

  5. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    The force and torque vectors that arise in applying Newton's laws to a rigid body can be assembled into a screw called a wrench. A force has a point of application and a line of action, therefore it defines the Plücker coordinates of a line in space and has zero pitch. A torque, on the other hand, is a pure moment that is not bound to a line ...

    To calculate: Given total force at failure (F) ... (e.g. the cross-section of a bolt loaded in ... this equation only gives an approximation and the maximum shear ...

  7. Torsion constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_constant

    In 1820, the French engineer A. Duleau derived analytically that the torsion constant of a beam is identical to the second moment of area normal to the section J zz, which has an exact analytic equation, by assuming that a plane section before twisting remains planar after twisting, and a diameter remains a straight line. Unfortunately, that ...

  8. Bearing pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_pressure

    The pressure force on the surface is equal to dF = P × dS = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ × P × D × L × dθ. The (y, z) plane is a plane of reflection symmetry, so the x compound of this force is annihilated by the force on the symmetrical surface element. The y compound of this force is equal to: dF y = cos(θ) dF = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ × cos(θ) × P × D × ...

  9. Shear force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_force

    40 tonne-force × 0.6 (to change force from tensile to shear) = 24 tonne-force. When working with a riveted or tensioned bolted joint, the strength comes from friction between the materials bolted together. Bolts are correctly torqued to maintain the friction. The shear force only becomes relevant when the bolts are not torqued.
