Is there anyone out there who would know > of a site that would have specifications of this type? http://www.fastenal.com/resources/online_calculators/calculators.asp. Fastener installation prestress sigma_i = pct(Su), where Su = bolt material ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and pct = percentage of Su. You can typically use pct = about 0.53 for unlubricated and about 0.57 for lubricated; and Su strength values can be found at http://euler9.tripod.com/bolt-database/ or http://www.americanfastener.com/techcharts.htm. Bolt installation torque T = K(D)(pct)(Su)(Ats), where K = torque coefficient, D = bolt nominal shank diameter, and Ats = bolt tensile stress area from, e.g., http://euler9.tripod.com/bolt-database/bolt-database11.html. For clean steel on steel, many people assume K = 0.15 for lubricated (greased), or K = 0.20 for "unlubricated" (thin lubricant film, as manufactured). Typically K = about 1.33(mu), if mu = mu2, where mu = thread coefficient of friction and mu2 = bolt head or nut washer face coefficient of friction. Good luck.
