Annex B, Example B1 of VDI 2230 Part 1:2015: the central bolt between the piston and piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder (tapped thread joint, concentric clamping and concentric loading, pulsating axial load), used to check the resilience, embedding, preload, working stress, fatigue, surface pressure and length of engagement results of the VDI 2230-1 single-bolt calculator point by point.
A textbook worked example of a connecting-rod necked-down bolt (M10-10.9 through-bolt joint, static and fatigue check), used to check the resilience, load factor, preload loss due to embedding, assembly preload, fatigue stresses and safety margins of the VDI 2230-1 single-bolt calculator point by point.
User manual of the MechCalc VDI 2230-1 single-bolt joint calculator: what it can and cannot calculate, the inputs of the eleven cards, the calculation steps R0 to R13, the result criteria and the limits.
The lower half of the VDI 2230 calculation chain β six strength checks (assembly stress, service stress, fatigue, bearing pressure, engagement depth, slip) plus the tightening torque R13. Each check's physical meaning, formula and safety factor explained one by one.
