SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on finding a theoretical solution for analyzing stress around a torqued hole in the center of a flat plate or cube. The user has consulted multiple stress mechanics textbooks without success and seeks to verify results from SolidWorks and Inventor simulations. Key references mentioned include "Everything You Wanted to Know About Bolted Joints" and "Applied Mechanics of Materials" by Joseph Edward Shigley, which cover essential topics such as torque, tensile stress, and fatigue related to bolted joints.
