A riveted joint may fail by 1. tearing of the plate at an edge 2. tearing of the plate across a row of rivets 3. shearing of rivets Which of the above are correct?

A riveted joint may fail by 1. tearing of the plate at an edge 2. tearing of the plate across a row of rivets 3. shearing of rivets Which of the above are correct? Correct Answer 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

A riveted joint fails in the following way

  • Shear failure of the rivets
  • Tensile failure of the rivets between two consecutive rows of rivets
  • Crushing failure of the rivets
  • Shear failure of the plates in the margin area
  • Tearing failure of the rivets in the margin area
  • Edge failure is a shear failure and is caused by an insufficient margin.
