Rivets and Riveted joints
Single shear
Double shear
Failures of a Riveted Joint
Let, d = Diameter of the rivet hole,
= Safe permissible shear stress for the rivet material, and
n = Number of rivets per pitch length.
P= Applied tensile stress per pitch length
We know that shearing area,
As = 4× d2 ...(In single shear)
As = 2 ×4 × d2 ...(Theoretically, in double shear)
As = 1.875 ×4 × d2 ...(In double shear,
Shearing resistance or pull required to shear off the rivet
per pitch length,
Ps = n × 4 × d2 × ...(In single shear)
Ps = n × 2×4 × d2 × ...(In double shear)
Hence, the joint will not fail if
Failures of a Riveted Joint
4. Crushing of the plate
or rivets. Sometimes, the
rivets do not actually
shear off under the
tensile stress, but are
crushed as shown in Fig.
1. The load on the joint is equally shared by all the rivets. The
assumption implies that the shell and plate are rigid and that
all the deformation of the joint takes place in the rivets
themselves.
2. The tensile stress is equally distributed over the section of
metal between the rivets.
3. The shearing stress in all the rivets is uniform.
4. The crushing stress is uniform.
5. There is no bending stress in the rivets.
6. The holes into which the rivets are driven do not weaken the
member.
7. The rivet fills the hole after it is driven.
8. The friction between the surfaces of the plate is neglected.
