    The document contains data on bolt diameters, thermal expansion coefficients, force and pressure calculations for different numbers of bolts. It examines the effects of temperature change on bolted aluminum joints using both 1/4" and 5/16" diameter bolts. Calculations were performed to determine the total force, pressure, and factor of safety on the bolted joints under various temperature conditions. A graph shows that pressure on the bolted joints increases with higher numbers of bolts.
