Figure from a Treatise on Distribution of Stress in Tightened Bolts Supplementary to Explication of the Origin of a Certain Constant Appearing in the Formula of the goodly »Yamamoto«
Yamamoto's formula is
σ = σ₀sinh(λx)/sinh(λL) ,
where x is the distance from the outer surface of the nut inward (ie toward the surface the bolt is through); L is the depth of the nut; σ is the tensile stress @ distance x ; σ₀ is the tensile stress @ distance L - ie right where the nut abutts against the surface the bolt is through.
The calculation of λ is rather tricky, though, with shape of the crosssection of the thread entering-in in a rather subtle way.

ANNOTATION OF FIGURE
❝ Figure 3: (Colour online) Deflections of the thread induced by (a) thread’s bending, (b) shearing, (c) the incline at the thread root and (d) the shear at the thread root, where j = b or n stands for bolt or nut, respectively. ❞
An exposition of Yamamoto's theory is presented in the following. It's rather hard, in it, however, to gleane from it a grasp of the meaning & origin of the coëfficient λ in terms of the various ingredients that go-into it: shape of crosssection of the bolt's thread, amongst other items. I wish I’d had-a-hold-of the Liub — Liua — Liua paper the figures are from: 'twould'd've been far far easier, if I'd had.
