Where Can I Find Some Free Websites to Study Bolts and Nuts?

08/01/2013 3:20 AM

Here is a sample exercise related to my final exam.

A screwM8x8 with completely threaded stem,class8.8zinc coated,must close 3 flanges,with transverse size much greater than that of the screw,made of a light alloy(E=80x10³MPa),of thickness 15,25,30mm.surface roughness is Ra=1.6um .Friction coefficient between all the surfaces in contact is comprised in the interval[0.12,0.16]and clamping is through a torque wrench(I=1.6).In operation the connection is subjected to a variable load between2000N and 6000N opening the connection.

You are asked to:1,compute the admissible force during closure,by considering a preload stress equal to 90% of the yield strength of the material.

2,compute the torque required to obtain this preloade force.

3,make the necessary verifications(minimum preload,static verification,fatigue verification)

Any recommendation with which I can get everything clear in this matter?Thank you.

Hi (again) Iwy,

Your other post was easy to answer, this one I haven't a clue!

What are you studying?

I hope it's not anything to do with Engineering, not knowing what M8x80 meant is very basic in terms of Engineering knowledge (and I would have thought a fair number of "non engineers" might know)

They tend to say "we don't do homework" on this site, have you exhausted all other avenues, College library, Google, your lecturers, etc.

Best of luck,

John

Shouldn't you already know this, if it is your final exam?

This is a complex issue, covering many aspects of mechanical engineering.

Machinery's Handbook or Engineering Toolbox may help.

OP seems to just want to study, which is always a noble goal (as opposed to asking for the answer to the example question).

I would start with Maryland metrics http://mdmetric.com/techindex.htm After learning what that teaches you, you will be able to ask intelligent questions and find websites your own. Or you can find a shop selling out at auction and buy a bucket or two of old greasy bolts. Spend the winter by the fire sorting them out and sizing and learning what they are. That will also help to understand what some of the websites are talking about.

I know how to "Google", do you? If your question were mine, that's the first place I would look.

I'm too lazy to get out my chair right now and look in the book cases, so I would Google first.

Also are you sure that (E=80x103MPa)? Some how I think I may have done some work on it many, many years ago it. Check it while on Google.

Good Luck, Old Salt
