1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,417
The other type of joint is loaded by shear force (Fs).

2
00:00:04,417 --> 00:00:11,792
In a joint loaded in shear forces, the friction between the parts keeps them from moving when subject to a shear force.

3
00:00:11,792 --> 00:00:16,375
The friction between the parts carries the load, not the fastener.

4
00:00:16,375 --> 00:00:20,417
An example of this type of joint would be a shock absorber mount.

5
00:00:20,417 --> 00:00:27,208
The greater the preload force the greater the clamping force, the greater the friction, and the stronger the joint.

6
00:00:27,208 --> 00:00:33,250
With a properly designed and tightened joint, the bolt will not experience a direct shear load.
