BoltedLapJointAlgorithm

The goal of this project is to design a bolted lap joint that connects two plates of specific thicknesses and width, subjected to a known tensile force.

🚀 Features

• Choose optimal bolt diameter and grade
• Select suitable plate grade
• Calculates:
  • Bolt shear and bearing strength
  • Required number of bolts
  • Pitch, gauge, end, and edge distances
  • Overall connection length and efficiency
• Includes PyTest-based test automation
• Test summary report of passed and failed(skipped) tests
