Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
💡 Hint: Refer to real life structures that face dynamic loads for inspiration.
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?
💡 Hint: Think about how buildings and vehicles use bolted connections.
