tightening torque is applied to over- friction tier a tdt head or nut, b

in a shear stress, which when tiined with * tensile stress fran * axial
load, causes an increese in the effective tensile stress. Etxmula (12)in

this situation, lengths of engagement formulas are dez ived fr.an shear fornulas
