I don't believe this argument applies to a joint consisting of a single
bolt, considered in isolation.
Thanks for an interesting discussion. This is what I come to RCM for!
Best wishes,

Since you've put some thought into this, you may find that reading a more
sophisticated engineering treatment of it would be worth your while. It's
too far in the past for me to remember much of it but there is plenty of
material on ductility and brittle failure in the field of aerospace
engineering. It's a very big issue there.
You could try the SAE website, which has a bookstore and white papers in the
aerospace division.

Pardon the messy line wrapping - just wanted to show what's there...

Abstract: This document (Volume 1, 2, and 3) presents a compilation of
industry-wide methods in aerospace strength analysis that can be carried
out by hand, that are general enough in scope to cover most structures
encountered, and that are sophisticated enough to give accurate
estimates of the actual strength expected. It provides analysis
techniques for the elastic and inelastic stress ranges. It serves not
only as a catalog of methods not usually available, but also as a
reference source for the background of the methods themselves.
