In a connection using 5/8-inch Φ (UNF-18, SAE Grade 8) bolts, each bolt is subjected to a varying axial load between 10 Kips to 20 Kips. Bolts can be preloaded between 0% (none) and 100%, at 10% intervals, of their proof strength.

What range of preload is ideal so that the fatigue life of this joint is infinite without join separation?

Use Modified Goodman Criteria for fatigue and show calculations for the preload levels between 0% and 100% (or at least the two cases of 0% and 50%). Calculate max stress and factor of safety for infinite life vs. preload as % of proof strength; find gross yielding & joint separation of bolts; then establish a workable range and ideal value for preload.

5. Wellington Fabrics of New Zealand produces bolts of woolen cloth for export. Each bolt contains 30 yards of fabric. Industry standards call for the average number of defects per fabric bolt to not exceed five. An inspector randomly selected a bolt of cloth, examined the first 3 yards and found 3 defects therein. The company assumes that the defect rate follows the Poisson distribution. a. Given the above information, if the company is meeting the industry standards, what is...
