Diameter of rivet given strength of joint for lap joint with single shear Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Rivet Diameter = sqrt(Safe Load Joint/(Number of Rivets Per Pitch*1*(pi/4)*Safe Shear Stress))
D_rivet = sqrt(P_safe/(n*1*(pi/4)*T_safe))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Rivet Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Rivet Diameter is offered from 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) to 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) in diameter (other sizes are considered highly special) and can be up to 8 inches (203 mm) long.
Safe Load Joint - (Measured in Newton) - Safe load Joint is the manufacturer's recommended maximum weight load for a line, rope, crane, or any other lifting device or component of a lifting device.
Number of Rivets Per Pitch - Number of Rivets Per Pitch is defined as total number of rivets that are present on the pitch of the rivet.
Safe Shear Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Safe shear stress is always less than the yield shear stress.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Safe Load Joint: 4.5 Kilonewton --> 4500 Newton (Check conversion here)
Number of Rivets Per Pitch: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Safe Shear Stress: 0.24 Megapascal --> 240000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_rivet = sqrt(P_safe/(n*1*(pi/4)*T_safe)) --> sqrt(4500/(2*1*(pi/4)*240000))

Evaluating ... ...

D_rivet = 0.109254843059208

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.109254843059208 Meter -->109.254843059208 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

109.254843059208 ≈ 109.2548 Millimeter <-- Rivet Diameter

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What are rivets used for?

Rivets are ideal for supporting shear and tensile loads, as well as watertight applications. A rivet is a mechanical fastener consisting of a smooth, cylindrical shaft with a head. Upon installation, the end of the shaft expands, creating a “shop head” and fastening objects in place.

How to Calculate Diameter of rivet given strength of joint for lap joint with single shear?

Diameter of rivet given strength of joint for lap joint with single shear calculator uses Rivet Diameter = sqrt(Safe Load Joint/(Number of Rivets Per Pitch*1*(pi/4)*Safe Shear Stress)) to calculate the Rivet Diameter, The Diameter of rivet given strength of joint for lap joint with single shear formula is defined as a chord that runs through the center point of the rivet. It is the longest possible chord of any rivet. The center of a rivet is the midpoint of its diameter. Rivet Diameter is denoted by D_rivet symbol.

How to calculate Diameter of rivet given strength of joint for lap joint with single shear using this online calculator?
