Initial Preload due to Bolt tightening given kb and kc Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Initial Preload Due to Bolt Tightening = Maximum Force Inside Pressurized Cylinder*(Stiffness of Pressurized Cylinder Bolt/(Combined Stiffness for Gasket Joint+Stiffness of Pressurized Cylinder Bolt))
P_l = P_max*(k_b/(k_c+k_b))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Initial Preload Due to Bolt Tightening - (Measured in Newton) - Initial preload due to bolt tightening value is the tension created in a fastener when it is tightened.
Maximum Force Inside Pressurized Cylinder - (Measured in Newton) - Maximum force inside pressurized cylinder is the maximum load (force) inside the cylinder when the joint is on the verge of opening or the capacity of the cylinder to bear the load (N).
Stiffness of Pressurized Cylinder Bolt - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Stiffness of pressurized cylinder bolt is the extent to which the bolt resists deformation in response to an applied force.
Combined Stiffness for Gasket Joint - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Combined stiffness for gasket joint is the combined values of stiffness of cylinder cover, cylinder flange, and gasket.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Force Inside Pressurized Cylinder: 25200 Newton --> 25200 Newton No Conversion Required
Stiffness of Pressurized Cylinder Bolt: 1180 Kilonewton per Millimeter --> 1180000000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)
Combined Stiffness for Gasket Joint: 4500 Kilonewton per Millimeter --> 4500000000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_l = P_max*(k_b/(k_c+k_b)) --> 25200*(1180000000/(4500000000+1180000000))

Evaluating ... ...

P_l = 5235.21126760563

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5235.21126760563 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

5235.21126760563 ≈ 5235.211 Newton <-- Initial Preload Due to Bolt Tightening
