Hi, I'm trying to calculate the forces on a set of four bolts either side of a rotating machine. I'm a bit rusty so need some help! Assuming the CofG is central to the two bolt groups and the height to the CofG is 'h', the distance from the overturning edges are 'L1' and 'L2' to reactions 'R1' and 'R2' respectively, and the torque is calculated to be 11936.6Nm: 1 How do I convert the torque to a linear force? 2 How do I calculate the tensile and shear stress on the bolts?
