Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a bolted joint for a structural frame subject to dynamic loads. Discuss how you will account for preload, torque-tension relationship, and expected fatigue loading.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Refer to real life structures that face dynamic loads for inspiration.

Question 2

Evaluate a scenario with a high static load where bolt stiffness is inadequate. What could be the consequences and how can you redesign the joint?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how buildings and vehicles use bolted connections.
