What do you mean by bolt uniform strength?

Bolt of uniform Strength means that the entire length of the bolt is subjected to same intensity of stress,that is stress in the shank portion and the threaded portion are same.this is achieved by reducing the diameter of the shank to core diameter of the thread.

What is the tensile strength of .375 bolt?

Tensile strength is a material propery, it does not depend on size. Look at a material chart to find its yield and tensile strenghts. Then use the stress equation, Stress = Force / Area to determine if your .375 bolt can handle the force on it. If your bolt is in shear, you need to find Shear strenghts.


How many threads should a bolt engage?

As a general rule, a bolt should engage a distancegreater than or equal to its outer diameter. The number of threads engaged can then be calculated from the number of threads per inch on the bolt. So if you are using a 1/4-20 bolt, meaning it has 1/4" diameter and 20 threads per inch, you should engage the bolt 1/4" into the hole, or 5 threads. (20 threads/inch x 1/4 inches)Why: The shear stress on the threads will be equal to the tensile stress in the shank of the bolt. This means that once you thread the bolt in a distance greater than its diameter, the shank itself will fail before the threads shear off the bolt under tensile load.Sources: Design of Machinery class at Purdue University, page 10 of the following MIT article: http://web.mit.edu/2.75/resources/FUNdaMENTALs%20Book%20pdf/FUNdaMENTALs%20Topic%206.PDF

What kind of stress is developed in bolt when nut is tightened?

Torque on a bolt places the bolt in Tension. The stresses are tensile stresses. There can also be torsional stress in the bolt, which is detrimental. That is minimized by lubricating the threads first, with anti-seize, thread locker (before cure), or surface treatment of the threads. In some cases, it is standard practice to back off nuts slightly after torquing to relieve the torsional stress.


What is necked-down bolt?

If a bolt is tightened past a certain point, it deforms by stretching, with the result that its diameter is reduced, if it is tightened past the elastic strain limit of the metal the reduction in diameter is permanent. This can often be seen afterwards in a reduced-diameter 'neck' in the shaft of the bolt where the highest stress occurred.


Which type of fastener is loosened and tightened with a hex driver?

Six sided bolt.


What is the difference between bolt and screw?

If it assembled into a tapped hole, it is a screw. It is tightened (torqued) at the head. If it used witha nut, it is a bolt. It is tightened (torqued) at the nut. Otherwise, it is the same piece of hardware, only the use is different


Will a car turn on if the crankshaft pulley is not fully tightened?

Yes but, you will have trouble soon if the crankshaft bolt is not tightened properly and it could become very expensive.


What type of strength is needed by a bolt when it is being tightened by a wrench?

The type of strength needed by a bolt when being tightened by a wrench is typically tensile strength. Tensile strength refers to the resistance of a material to breaking under tension. The bolt needs to be able to withstand the force applied by the wrench without breaking.

Bolt pattern on a 2007 Toyota fj?

Lug nuts should be tightened in a star pattern.


Stress on minor diameter of bolt when bolt is subjected to longitudinal force?

The stress on a bolt under longitudinal force is the total force on the bolt divided by the stress area. The stress area is a little bigger than the minor diameter area, calculated from the average of the minor diameter and pitch diameter. The total force on the bolt is its torque preload plus the (bolt stiffness/(bolt +member stiffness) x (externally applied load )


A craftsman mower not cutting the blade is new but the bolt spins when the nut is tightened?

You probably forgot to put the shear rivets, bolt, key back in depending on the make and model of your lawn mower or you have stripped the bolt.


How do you tighten the fan belt on a holden rodeo 2000?

The fan belt on a 2000 Holden Rodeo is tightened by loosening the tensioner and using a pry bar to apply pressure. The bolt is then tightened to maintain the tension.


What is wrong when a 1998 Mazda 626 squeals at start up?

From recent experience, the Alternator belt. It is easily tightened by loosening the top bolt and tightening the horizontal adjustment bolt.
