BOLTCALC Results

The document summarizes the results of a joint analysis using BOLTCALC software. It finds that a M10 x 1.5 coarse thread fastener with a minimum yield strength of 940 MPa and tensile strength of 1040 MPa can withstand the applied forces of 5000 N of direct shear force and 1000 N of functional force, with safety factors above 1. It also finds that the maximum preload, surface pressure, fatigue loading, and thread stripping will be acceptable. The defined fastener and joint are capable of sustaining the applied forces.
