A set of six M8 bolts are used to provide a clamping force of 20 kN between two components in a machine. If the joint is subjected to an additional load of 18 kN after the initial preload of 8.5 kN per bolt has been applied, determine the stress in the bolts. The stiffness of the clamped components can be assumed to be three times that of the bolt material. The proof stress of the low carbon steel bolt material is 310 MPa.
