The equations in the link that you shared consists of only the effect due to axial load I guess. But I do have an effect on my bolt due to combined loading.
Is it equivalent to applying the prescribed loads as given by the beam probe individually on the bolt and then determining the stresses ? Is that a valid method ? Or is there any simpler method ?
