The formula to calculate the Bolt Area is:
\[ BA = 0.7854 \cdot \left[D - \left(\frac{0.9734}{n}\right)\right]^2 \]
Where:
Bolt area refers to the cross-sectional area of a bolt, which is crucial for determining its strength and load-bearing capacity. It is calculated based on the bolt's diameter and the number of threads per inch.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ BA = 0.7854 \cdot \left[0.5 - \left(\frac{0.9734}{20}\right)\right]^2 \approx 0.1600 \, \text{in}^2 \]
The Bolt Area (BA) is approximately 0.1600 in².
