For riveted joint, which empirical relation is used for calculating the diameter of rivet? Where, t = Thickness of main plate, d = Rivet diameter in mm Correct Answer <span class="math-tex">\(\rm d = 6\sqrt t\)</span>

Explanation:

  • Practically, after the rivet cooled down, it suffers a certain amount of shrinkage but for uniformity and ease in calculation we consider the rivet Hole to be completely filled by a rivet.
  • The stress distribution is considered uniform in rivet joints.
  • Plate friction is also neglected.

To calculate the size of the rivet, Unwin’s formula is used.

⇒ d = 6.04√t,

Where, t is the thickness of the plate in mm and d is the nominal diameter of rivet in mm
