Which of the following assumptions are made in the design of rivet joints? A. Rivets are stressed equally B. Stress in plate is maximum at mid-width C. Rivet hole is completely filled by rivet D. Friction between plates is neglected
Which of the following assumptions are made in the design of rivet joints? A. Rivets are stressed equally B. Stress in plate is maximum at mid-width C. Rivet hole is completely filled by rivet D. Friction between plates is neglected Correct Answer A, C and D only
Concept:
The following assumptions are made in the design of rivet joints:
a) External force is equally distributed to all the rivets. It means there is no stress concentration in the rivets and all the rivets are stressed equally.
b) Stress in plates are uniform throughout the length of the plate and there is no stress concentration at mid width.
c) Rivet holes are completely filled with rivets.
d) Friction between plates are taken as negligible. Because it assumed that the load is transferred between the plates by shear only and there is no loss in load transferring due to friction.
