Required information For a bolted assembly with 9 bolts, the stiffness of each bolt is kb=1.0 MN/mm and the stiffness of the members is km-2.6 MN/mm per bolt. The bolts are preloaded to 75 percent of proof stiffness. Assume the external load is equally distributed to all bolts. The bolts are M6 x 1 class 5.8 with rolled threads. A fluctuating load is applied to the entire joint with Wmax = 60 kN and Wmin = 20 kN. The bolt diameter is d= 6 mm. Determine the yielding factor of safety np. The yielding factor of safety, np. is
