In practice, however, a number ofbolts are always used and each is always regarded as carrying TORSION AND TWISTING OF SHAFTS 313 its proportion of the load, and the best way to meet thedifficulty seems to be to have the workmanship as good aspossible. General Case of Torque on Groups of Bolts orRivets.—Suppose that we have any number of bolts or rivetsof different areas and at different radii from the axis o aboutwhich a twisting action may be considered as taking place; inFig. 139 we have shown three such bolts. Then if we imaginea slight rotational movement of one part of the joint orcoupling about the point o relatively to the other it will be.
