VM-VDI2230-BOLT-002: Annex B, Example B2

Annex B, Example B2 of VDI 2230 Part 1:2015: the bolts of a rigid flange coupling (through-bolt joint, transverse load carried by friction), used to check the required clamp load, resilience, embedding, preload, surface pressure, slipping and shearing results of the VDI 2230-1 single-bolt calculator point by point.

VM-VDI2230-BOLT-006: Steel flange bolt, static load check

A textbook worked example of a steel flange bolt under static load (M10-8.8 through-bolt joint with a required residual clamp load), used to check the resilience, load factor, preload loss due to embedding, assembly preload and safety margin against exceeding the yield point of the VDI 2230-1 single-bolt calculator point by point.

VM-VDI2230-BOLT-007: Connecting-rod necked-down bolt, dynamic load check

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.

VDI 2230 (008): Full Worked Example (DSV)

A full VDI 2230 through-bolt joint (DSV) worked example, going through R0–R13 in all 14 steps. It includes the specific input parameters, the intermediate result of each step and the final safety factors, ties the theory of the previous 7 articles into one calculation chain, and lists every input you need to re-run the case in the calculator.

VDI 2230 (002): Scope and Standard Positioning

The applicability conditions of VDI 2230 Blatt 1, the interface limiting dimension G, the family of standards it depends on, and the implicit premise about how force is transmitted. Making clear what the standard can and cannot compute, so you avoid applying it blindly in the wrong scenario.
