Huth-Schwarmann method

Configuration: d = Hole diameter


t = Plate thickness
n = Single o double shear switch
Material: E = Young modulus
ν = Poisson ratio
Indices: 1 = Plate 1 (central one in double shear)
2 = Plate 2 (outer ones in double shear)
f = fastener stiffness

a and b depends on the type of joint, n=1 for single shear and 2 for double shear
