Shear Test of Metal Fasteners Objectives: The objective of this experiment is to perform a shear test on steel bolt fasteners in both single and double shear. To determine the shearing stress on all the fasteners in each test preformed. Determine the bearing stress behind each bolt on each plate in each test performed. Determine the normal stress at the critical sections for all the plates pulled in each test performed. Theory: The theory behind the experiment is to focus on the strength of fasteners in single and double shear connection. The strength of connection plates is stronger when compared to the strength of the fasteners. Equations: T = P nA T = P 2 nA Description of Apparatus: Bolted connection-Single Shear This was for single shear and the bolt, washers, nuts are holding the flat bars in place before getting placed into the machine. Bolted connection- Double shear This was double shear flat plates were added and more bolts and fasters.
Universal Testing Machine This is 60k Super “L” that was to test single and double shear. It is white has a knob to tighten the piece in the machine. Adjustable Wrench The adjustable wrench was used to tighten the fasteners and nuts into the flat heads and bars . The wrench could be adjusted to how big or small the nut is. Hex Head fasteners and nuts These were used to get the shear from when put into the fastners.
