Allowable Bearing Pressure Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bearing Stress = (Edge Load per Unit Width*Distance between Rivets)/(Plate Thickness*Diameter of Rivet)
f_br = (P*b)/(p_t*D_rivet)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Bearing Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Bearing Stress is described as the contact pressure between the separate bodies.
Edge Load per Unit Width - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Edge Load per unit Width is the force acting on the edges of an object having a unit width.
Distance between Rivets - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Rivets is the space between the two rivets present in a joint.
Plate Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Plate Thickness is the distance through the bearing plate.
Diameter of Rivet - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Rivet is somewhat equal to diameter of the hole in which rivetting is to be done. It is the diameter of the shank length of a rivet.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Edge Load per Unit Width: 37.7 Newton per Millimeter --> 37700 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)
Distance between Rivets: 1285 Millimeter --> 1.285 Meter (Check conversion here)
Plate Thickness: 94 Millimeter --> 0.094 Meter (Check conversion here)
Diameter of Rivet: 24 Millimeter --> 0.024 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f_br = (P*b)/(p_t*D_rivet) --> (37700*1.285)/(0.094*0.024)

Evaluating ... ...

Factors affecting bearing pressure

The value of bearing pressure will change when either there is a change in the edge loads or the dimensions of the rivet or the plate.

How to Calculate Allowable Bearing Pressure?

Allowable Bearing Pressure calculator uses Bearing Stress = (Edge Load per Unit Width*Distance between Rivets)/(Plate Thickness*Diameter of Rivet) to calculate the Bearing Stress, Allowable Bearing Pressure refers to the maximum pressure that a bearing or contact surface can sustain without experiencing excessive wear, deformation, or failure, it is a critical parameter in engineering design, particularly in applications where loads are transmitted through contact surfaces, such as in bearings, joints, or structural connections. Bearing Stress is denoted by f_br symbol.
