1st example
One of the two high-strength steel bolts A and B is to be
chosen to support a sudden tensile loading. For the choice it
is necessary to determine the greatest amount of elastic
strain energy that each bolt can absorb. Bolt A has a
diameter of 0.875 in. for 2 in. of its length and a root (or
smallest) diameter of 0.731 in. within the 0.25-in. threaded
region. Bolt B has “upset” threads, such that the diameter
throughout its 2.25-in. length can be taken as 0.731 in. In
both cases, neglect the extra material that makes up the
threads. Take Est = 2911032 ksi, σY = 44 ksi.
