| - | When the nut on a bolt is tightened; \\ | ||
| - | An initial tensile load is placed on the bolt that must be taken into account in determining it's safe working strength or external load-carrying capacity. \\ | ||
| - | The total load on the bolt theoretically varies from a maximum equal to the sum of the initial and external loads. \\ | ||
| - | (from when the bolt is absolutely rigid and the parts held together are elastic) to a minimum equal to either the initial or external loads, whichever is the greater. \\ | ||
| - | (where the bolt is elastic and the parts held together are absolutely rigid). \\ | ||
| - | No material is absolutely rigid, so in practice the total load values fall somewhere between these maximum and minimum limits. \\ | ||
