Explanation:

Given data :

Stiffness of each bolt = 1.0 MN/mm

Stiffness of the members = 2.6 MN/mm per bolt

Bolts are preloaded to 75% of proof strength

The bolts are M6 × 1 class 5.8 with rolled threads

Pmax =60 kN,  Pmin = 20kN

a) Determine the yielding factor of safety

 ------ ( 1 )

Sp = 380 MPa,   At = 20.1 mm^2,   C = 0.277,  Pmax = 7500 N,  Fi = 5728.5 N

Input the given values into the equation above

equation 1 becomes ( np ) = = 0.978

note : values above are derived values whose solution are not basically part of the required solution hence they are not included

b) Determine the overload factor of safety

 ------- ( 2 )

Sp =  380 MPa,   At =  20.1 mm^2, C = 0.277,  Pmax = 7500 N,  Fi = 5728.5 N

input values into equation 2 above

hence : = 0.9191

C)  Determine the factor of safety based on joint separation

Fi =  5728.5 N,  Pmax = 7500 N,  C = 0.277,

input values into equation above

Hence = 1.056

D)  Determine the fatigue factor of safety using the Goodman criterion.

nf = 0.849

attached below is the detailed solution .
