We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Aitor,

I see now. Is your bolt design finalized? I think the preload is too high. The bolted joints should be designed based on the proof strength/load of the bolt, which is the maximum strength/load that a bolt can withstand without acquiring a permanent (plastic) deformation. The proof strength is typically considered to be 85% of the yield strength, and the recommended preload is typically between 75 to 90% of the corresponding proof load. You may find useful information in the following video:

?start=448&end=587

You probably need to change the bolt design or modify the preload. I hope this works.

Thanks,

Pedram
