Calculation of Bolted Connection:

where:

c 1 = c 10 + (1 - n) c 20

c 2 = n c 20

for steel a = 10

Required tightening moment

Calculated tensile stress in the bolt

Calculated torsion stress in the bolt

Reduced stress in the bolt

Stress caused by maximum force loading the bolt

Calculated pressure in the thread

Calculation check - stress in the bolt during tightening the joint and during the operation
(respecting the specified joint safety), and the check of allowable pressure in threads.
