OK smart-ass
Go get the "Handbook of Bolts and Bolted Joints" -Bickford/Nassar

Maybe you can read something and learn how bolted joints work.

And seeing as you only believe in things from the internet , here is a good paper on bolted joints.

The other type of joint is loaded by shear force (Fs). In a joint loaded in shear, the friction between the parts keep them from moving when subject to a shear force. The friction between the parts carries the load, not the fastener

This explains the function of a flanged joint, which is what a wheel and hub is.
