"A synthesized technique to aid in predicting the overall dynamic or static response of a bolted connection to externally applied dynamic or static tractions is presented. The technique is a synthesis of an existing method for determining stiffness coefficients in a bolted connection together with concepts and analysis techniques presented in this document. The information presented is considered a ""first step"" in the development of an analytical technique for predicting the overall stiffness of a bolted connection."
