What is Shear vs. Tensile Bolt Strength Analysis about?

Bolted joints are weaker in shear loading than tensile loading. There are four steps to shear failure in a bolted joint: 1) static friction initially resists movement, 2) plates slide against the bolt, 3) the bolt elongates and weakens under cyclic loading, 4) the joint fails through bolt breakage or plate yielding. Properly designing for shear forces is important to prevent premature joint failure.
