Questions Answered.

·  How do I account for the tolerances in my joint?

·  What is the most likely failure mode for my joint?

·  How do the component parameters affect the failure modes?

·  How sensitive is my joint to changes in fastener finish?

·  When is it ok to exceed the yield strength of the bolt or plates?

·  When is it ok to exceed the frictional shear capacity of a joint?

·  When is it ok to exceed the total slip capacity of a joint?

·  What is the fatigue life expectation for the bolt in this joint?

·  When should locking features be used?

·  Do I have a good bolt pattern?

·  How do I design a clevis joint?  Is my clevis too stiff?

·  Can I use this process to set load and stiffness targets?

·  What are embedment features, and when should I use them?

·  How should/shouldn’t I design nubs and serrations?

·  How do I handle joint relaxation?

·  How do I design wheel attachments?

·  Should I use cone nuts, flat nuts, or two piece nuts?

·  How much are my joints over-designed?

·  I’m package constrained. How can I make a 14mm bolt perform

·   like a 16mm bolt?

·  I’m time constrained. How can I add more joint analysis to my

·   process?
