Type of Failures:
Shearing Failure of Bolt: |
Bearing Failure of Plate:Shear & Bearing AreaTearing Failure at edge of PlateEccentricity of Applied Force:Plates of lap joint tends to bend. Bending produces non uniform bearing of the fastener on the plates Tearing failureTests showed, failure by tearing through free edge of material will not occur if Le measured parallel to line of applied force is not less dia of bolt multiply ratio of bearing stress to tensile strength of connected part. Force transmitted by the bolt Equation ( C ) can be approximated as So Equation becomes; |
