COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR BOLTED JOINT ANALYSIS

BOLTCALC

Is a powerful yet easy to use PC software for the analysis of concentrically and shear loaded bolted joints. It will determine whether or not a bolted joint will sustain the forces acting upon it. If the joint is being designed it can estimate the size of bolt required for the application. Once the bolt size has been estimated, or details of an existing joint have been entered, detailed calculations can be performed. The calculations will determine whether or not the bolt will fail by the joint not being clamped together sufficiently, direct overload of the bolt, or by fatigue failure.

The BOLTCALC program uses several databases, these databases are used in a read only manner by the program but can be edited to allow values to be added, deleted or changed by Bolt Science’s DBEditor program.
