Elements and Performance Criteria
- Determine stresses in simple structures and mechanical components
- The shear stresses in simple bolted connections are determined.
- The nominal weld size or length of weld required on simple welded connections is determined to meet load requirements.
- Torque distribution diagrams are drawn and used to calculate torsional shear stress and angle of twist on threaded bolts subjected to torques.
- Verify stress levels using appropriate reference material
