Joint Efficiency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Joint Efficiency for Shell = (Distance between Rivets-Diameter)/(Distance between Rivets)
J = (b-D)/(b)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Joint Efficiency for Shell - Joint Efficiency for Shell refers to the effectiveness of the joint between two adjacent sections of a cylindrical shell, such as in a pressure vessel or a storage tank.
Distance between Rivets - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Rivets is the space between the two rivets present in a joint.
Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Distance between Rivets: 1285 Millimeter --> 1.285 Meter (Check conversion here)
Diameter: 32 Millimeter --> 0.032 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

J = (b-D)/(b) --> (1.285-0.032)/(1.285)

Evaluating ... ...

J = 0.975097276264591

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.975097276264591 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.975097276264591 ≈ 0.975097 <-- Joint Efficiency for Shell

Ultimate Tensile Stress for Plate

Go Ultimate Tensile Strength = (Edge Load per Unit Width*Distance between Rivets)/(Plate Thickness*(Distance between Rivets-Diameter of Rivet))

Shear Failure Load on plate

Go Edge Load per Unit Width = (2*Distance between Rivet and Edge of Plate*Plate Thickness*Maximum Shear Stress)/(Distance between Rivets)

Maximum Blade Efficiency

Go Maximum Blade Efficiency = (2*Blade Lift Force/Blade Drag Force-1)/(2*Blade Lift Force/Blade Drag Force+1)

Allowable Bearing Pressure

Go Bearing Stress = (Edge Load per Unit Width*Distance between Rivets)/(Plate Thickness*Diameter of Rivet)

Shear Load per width

Go Edge Load per Unit Width = (pi*(Diameter^2)*Maximum Shear Stress)/(4*Distance between Rivets)

Joint Efficiency

Go Joint Efficiency for Shell = (Distance between Rivets-Diameter)/(Distance between Rivets)

Disk Loading

Go Load = Aircraft Weight/((pi*Diameter of Rotor^2)/4)

Average Blade Lift Coefficient

Go Blade Lift Coefficient = 6*Thrust Coefficient/Rotor Solidity

Life of Aircraft given number of Flight

Go Number of Flights = (1/Total Damage per Flight)

Joint Efficiency Formula

Joint Efficiency for Shell = (Distance between Rivets-Diameter)/(Distance between Rivets)
J = (b-D)/(b)

Factors that affect joint efficiency

For a riveted lap joint, the joint efficiency depends on the diameter of the rivet and the space between two rivets.

How to Calculate Joint Efficiency?

Joint Efficiency calculator uses Joint Efficiency for Shell = (Distance between Rivets-Diameter)/(Distance between Rivets) to calculate the Joint Efficiency for Shell, Joint efficiency refers to the effectiveness of a welded or bonded joint in transmitting applied loads between the connected members without failure or deformation, it is a measure of how well the joint distributes and transfers stress across its interface, ensuring structural integrity and load-carrying capacity. Joint Efficiency for Shell is denoted by J symbol.
