Strength of Joint per Pitch Length using Butt Joint with Double Cover Plates Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Strength of joint = Number of Rivets Per Pitch*(2*(pi/4)*(Rivet Diameter^2)*Safe shear stress)
S = n*(2*(pi/4)*(D_rivet^2)*T_safe)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Strength of joint - (Measured in Newton) - Strength of joint is the strength of riveted joint per pitch length.
Number of Rivets Per Pitch - Number of Rivets Per Pitch is defined as total number of rivets that are present on the pitch of the rivet.
Rivet Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Rivet Diameter is offered from 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) to 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) in diameter (other sizes are considered highly special) and can be up to 8 inches (203 mm) long.
Safe shear stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Safe shear stress is always less than the yield shear stress.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Number of Rivets Per Pitch: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Rivet Diameter: 18 Millimeter --> 0.018 Meter (Check conversion here)
Safe shear stress: 0.24 Megapascal --> 240000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = n*(2*(pi/4)*(D_rivet^2)*T_safe) --> 2*(2*(pi/4)*(0.018^2)*240000)

Evaluating ... ...

S = 244.290244743142

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

244.290244743142 Newton -->0.244290244743142 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.244290244743142 ≈ 0.24429 Kilonewton <-- Strength of joint

What are rivets used for?

Rivets are ideal for supporting shear and tensile loads, as well as watertight applications. A rivet is a mechanical fastener consisting of a smooth, cylindrical shaft with a head. Upon installation, the end of the shaft expands, creating a “shop head” and fastening objects in place.
