Assertion (A): Treating every fastener as a rigid connection is a safe simplification.

Reason (R): A fastener has finite stiffness and allows some relative movement between the parts.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: D

The assertion is false and the reason is true. Rigid connections stiffen the model and misdistribute the load between parts, sometimes unconservatively. Calibrated spring elements reproduce the real joint flexibility at very little cost.
