The allowable tensile stress for a 6.25 mm diameter bolt with a thread length of 5.5 mm is 207 MPa. The allowable shear stress of the material is 103 MPa. Where and how will such a bolt be most likely to fail if placed in tension

Respuesta :

Answer:

At the threads due to shear.

Explanation:

Given :

The allowable tensile stress = 207 MPa

The allowable shear stress = 103 MPa

If a tensile force is applied, the maximum shear stress occurs at the threads of  the bolt. The bolt is most likely to fail at the critical section. The critical cross section is the section having the minimum cross sectional area.

The portion of the bolt having threads has the minimum cross sectional area.

So when the bolt is applied with a tensile force, failure is most likely to take place at the threads due to the shearing force.
