Variables Used
Allowable Crushing Strength of the Bolt Material - (Measured in Pascal) - Allowable Crushing Strength of the Bolt Material is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size as opposed to tensile strength.
Maximum Torque - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Maximum torque means the highest value of the net torque measured at full engine load.
Number of Bolts - Number of Bolts is simply defined as the number of bolts that are under our consideration.
Diameter of Bolt - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Bolt is the distance from the outer thread on one side to the outer thread on the other side. This is called the major diameter and will usually be the proper size of the bolt.
Thickness of Flange - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Flange is a protruded ridge, lip or rim, either external or internal, that serves to increase strength or for stabilizing and guiding the movements of a machine or its parts.
Pitch Circle Diameter of Bolts - (Measured in Meter) - Pitch Circle Diameter of Bolts (PCD) is the diameter of the circle which passes through the centre of all the studs, wheel bolts or wheel rim holes.

What is Crushing Strength?

n mechanics, compressive strength or compression strength is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size (as opposed to tensile strength which withstands loads tending to elongate). In other words, compressive strength resists compression (being pushed together), whereas tensile strength resists tension (being pulled apart). In the study of strength of materials, tensile strength, compressive strength, and shear strength can be analyzed independently.
