Thanks for the detailed explanation, Peter. I will definitely go through it. But I have another doubt. To the bolted joints should I give bolt pretension load? and if yes then for the tightening torque of 12Nm how much will be the preload for a bolt length of 3.5cm(head length.5cm and shank 3cm) for a standard M5 bolt?
