Welcome to the repository for "Bolted Joint Analysis," an open research project focused on the numerical assessment of bolt strength. This project explores various aspects of bolt mechanics using free and open-source tools, including Jupyter Notebooks, Pandas, and Python libraries. It aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of bolt strength, encompassing mechanical forces, tensile strength, and shear strength in different conditions.

- Overview: This section explains the different forces acting on a bolt when tightened, including clamping, preloading, shear, and tension forces.
- Detailed Analysis: Explore how these forces contribute to the overall strength and stability of bolted joints.
- Python Code: Provides calculations for tensile stress, area, and factor of safety based on user input for force, bolt diameter, and material properties.
- Example Output: Shows calculations for a bolt under a tensile load of 17,000 N with a diameter of 8 mm.
- Analysis: Examines the single shear force where the load is applied on one plane.
- Code and Calculations: Includes code and examples for determining shear stress and factor of safety in single shear conditions.
- Analysis: Investigates the double shear force where the load is distributed across two planes.
- Code and Calculations: Provides code and example calculations for double shear stress and factor of safety under given conditions.
- Python Libraries: Math, Statistics, Pandas, IPython Widgets.
- Software: Jupyter Notebooks for executing and visualizing calculations.
