Stiffness of Bolt - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - The Stiffness of Boltt is the extent to which the bolt resists deformation in response to an applied force.
Nominal Bolt Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Nominal Bolt Diameter is the diameter equal to the external diameter of the threads or the overall diameter of the part of the bolt.
Modulus of Elasticity of Bolt - (Measured in Pascal) - Modulus of Elasticity of Bolt is a quantity that measures the bolt's or substance's resistance to being deformed elastically when stress is applied to it.
Total Thickness of Parts held together by Bolt - (Measured in Meter) - The Total Thickness of Parts held together by Bolt is the sum of the thickness of the parts held together by a bolt.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Nominal Bolt Diameter: 15 Millimeter --> 0.015 Meter (Check conversion here)

What is stiffness?

The stiffness, k, of a body is a measure of the resistance offered by an elastic body to deformation. For an elastic body with a single degree of freedom (DOF) (for example, stretching or compression of a rod), the stiffness is defined as k=f/dx
