Additionally, limited guidance is provided for fatigue considerations. Axial loads, shear loads, thermal loads, and thread tear out are used in factor of safety calculations. Guidance is provided for general bolted joint design, computation of preload uncertainty and preload loss, and the calculation of the bolted joint factor of safety. Several methods for the design and analysis of bolted joint connections are presented. An overview of the current methods used to analyze bolted joint connections is given. This document provides general guidance for the design and analysis of bolted joint connections. This source of this page is Brown et al., "Guideline for Bolted Joint Design and Analysis: Version 1.0," Sandia Report SAND2008-0371, Sandia National Laboratories, 2008. This page provides details on the design and analysis of bolted joints. It is recommended that the total load for buckling, unless substantiated by testing, be obtained by the addition of the pressurization load, the buckling load for the unpressurized cylinder (Reference Section 15.4.1.Guideline for Bolted Joint Design and Analysis It is recommended that the total load for buckling, unless substantiated by testing, be obtained by the addition of the pressurization load, the buckling load for the unpressurized cylinder (Reference Section 15.4.1.2) and an increase in the buckling load caused by pressurization that is: Sufficiently high pressurization the cylinder buckles in the classicalĪxisymmetric mode at approximately the classical buckling stress.
