As per Unwin’s formula, if t is the thickness of the plate in mm, what will be the nominal diameter of the rivet?
As per Unwin’s formula, if t is the thickness of the plate in mm, what will be the nominal diameter of the rivet? Correct Answer d = 6.04 <span class="math-tex">\(\sqrt t \)</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
