Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Nominal Bolt Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Nominal Bolt Diameter is the diameter equal to the external diameter of the threads or the overall diameter of the part of the bolt.
Stiffness of Bolt - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - The Stiffness of Boltt is the extent to which the bolt resists deformation in response to an applied force.
Total Thickness of Parts Held Together by Bolt - (Measured in Meter) - The Total Thickness of Parts held together by Bolt is the sum of the thickness of the parts held together by a bolt.
Modulus of Elasticity of Bolt - (Measured in Pascal) - Modulus of Elasticity of Bolt is a quantity that measures the bolt's or substance's resistance to being deformed elastically when stress is applied to it.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Stiffness of Bolt: 317000 Newton per Millimeter --> 317000000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)
Total Thickness of Parts Held Together by Bolt: 115 Millimeter --> 0.115 Meter (Check conversion here)
Modulus of Elasticity of Bolt: 207000 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 207000000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d = sqrt((k_b'*l*4)/(E*pi)) --> sqrt((317000000*0.115*4)/(207000000000*pi))

Evaluating ... ...

d = 0.0149743657940467

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0149743657940467 Meter -->14.9743657940467 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

14.9743657940467 ≈ 14.97437 Millimeter <-- Nominal Bolt Diameter

What is nominal diameter?

Nominal Diameter is defined as the largest diameter of the bolt .It is also called major diameter. The size most commonly associated with screw threads is the nominal diameter. Nominal diameter is a more of a label than a size. For example, a bolt and nut may be described as being ½” diameter. But neither the external threads of the bolt nor the internal threads of the nut are exactly .

How to Calculate Nominal Diameter of Bolt given Stiffness of Bolt?

Nominal Diameter of Bolt given Stiffness of Bolt calculator uses Nominal Bolt Diameter = sqrt((Stiffness of Bolt*Total Thickness of Parts Held Together by Bolt*4)/(Modulus of Elasticity of Bolt*pi)) to calculate the Nominal Bolt Diameter, Nominal Diameter of Bolt given Stiffness of Bolt is defined as the size most commonly associated with screw threads is the nominal diameter. The nominal diameter is more of a label than a size. Nominal Bolt Diameter is denoted by d symbol.

How to calculate Nominal Diameter of Bolt given Stiffness of Bolt using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Nominal Diameter of Bolt given Stiffness of Bolt, enter Stiffness of Bolt (k_b'), Total Thickness of Parts Held Together by Bolt (l) & Modulus of Elasticity of Bolt (E) and hit the calculate button.
