Problem 3 (25 Marks) Two identical aluminum plates are each 2 in thick, and are compressed with one bolt and nut. Washers are used under the head of the bolt and under the nut. • Washer properties: steel; ID=0.531 in; OD = 1.062 in; thickness - 0.095 in • Nut properties: steel; height = 7/16 in • Bolt properties: 1/2 in-13 UNC grade 8 Plate properties: aluminum: E = 10.3 Mpsi: Su - 47 kpsi: S, - 25 kpsi (a) Determine the bolt stiffness. [10] (6) Determine the stiffness of the members. [15]
