The VDI 2230 standard is divided into three parts, each addressing a specific aspect of bolted joint design.
Bolted joints are critical components in mechanical engineering, securing everything from automotive engines to heavy industrial machinery. Failure in a single bolted connection can lead to catastrophic structural collapse or costly operational downtime. To prevent these failures, engineers rely on , the gold standard guideline developed by the Association of German Engineers (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure).

Real-world applications rarely feature just one bolt. Part 2 provides the framework for analyzing complex configurations, such as engine blocks, flanges, and slewing bearings. It bridges the gap between finite element analysis (FEA) and the analytical formulas of Part 1, detailing how to extract forces from FE models to input into the single-bolt calculation.

VDI 2230 focuses specifically on the bolted joint and its components. The FKM guideline provides the strength theory for the component itself, and is sometimes used in conjunction with VDI 2230 to ensure a holistic strength assessment.
By analyzing this joint compliance, VDI 2230 allows engineers to calculate exactly how much external load is transferred to the bolt versus how much is absorbed by the clamped parts. Key Objectives of VDI 2230 To prevent these failures, engineers rely on ,
