2. For a bolted assembly with five bolts, assume that the stiffness of the clamped members is three times that of the bolt. An external load of 445 kN is applied to the entire joint. Assume the load is equally distributed to all the bolts. It has been determined to use ½ in - 13 UNC grade 8 bolts with a proof strength of 827 MPa and a tensile stress area of 92.5 mm². Assume the bolts are preloaded to 75 percent of the proof load. Since it is common to load a bolt close to its proof strength, Sp, the yielding factor of safety is often not much greater than unity. Evaluate if the bolts are safe against yielding.
