Where might I find the Mathcad sheet for bolted joint computations, cited in SANDIA National Laboratories Report AND2008-0371, "Guideline for Bolted Joint Design and Analysis: Version 1.0", issued January 2008?

Have you tried contacting SNL or one of the authors?

No, but good point...  I figured I'd try querying the PTC user community first, before contacting SNL and authors (if still employed there).   Thank you for your response.

Thank you for the reference material.   I will use it to evaluate bolt stress and resultant safety factors as applied to a modular cooling unit that operates in a high-g environment, and compare against other methods.

Are you looking for a sheet that analyzes bolted joints, or are you looking for THAT sheet?  There are several different ways. . .
