How would you calculate plate thickness and width when you know

AI Thread Summary
To calculate plate thickness and width, consider factors such as shear stress of bolts, diameter of the bolts, shear stress of the plate, load carried, and bearing stresses of both the plate and bolts. Identifying all possible failure modes is crucial for a comprehensive analysis. For each failure mode, a mathematical model should be developed based on the definition of stress. This approach ensures that all relevant stresses are accounted for in the design. Understanding these parameters is essential for ensuring structural integrity.
