Diameter of rivets for lap joint Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Diameter of Rivet = (4*Tensile Force on Riveted Plates/(pi*Rivets Per Pitch*Permissible Shear Stress for Rivet))^0.5
d = (4*P/(pi*n*τ))^0.5
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

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.
Tensile Force on Riveted Plates - (Measured in Newton) - Tensile force on riveted plates is the stretching force acting on the plates that are joined by a rivet.
Rivets Per Pitch - Rivets Per Pitch is defined as the total number of rivets that are present per pitch length of the riveted joint.
Permissible Shear Stress for Rivet - (Measured in Pascal) - Permissible Shear Stress for Rivet is defined as the maximum limit of stress that a rivet joint can withstand.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tensile Force on Riveted Plates: 46000 Newton --> 46000 Newton No Conversion Required
Rivets Per Pitch: 3 --> No Conversion Required
Permissible Shear Stress for Rivet: 60 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 60000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d = (4*P/(pi*n*τ))^0.5 --> (4*46000/(pi*3*60000000))^0.5

Evaluating ... ...

d = 0.0180383879326867

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0180383879326867 Meter -->18.0383879326867 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

18.0383879326867 ≈ 18.03839 Millimeter <-- Diameter of Rivet

What is a rivet?

Rivet is a headed pin or bolt of metal used for uniting two or more pieces by passing the shank through a hole in each piece and then beating or pressing down the plain end so as to make a second head. It is a permanent type of joint.

What is lap joint?

When two plates are folded under or above each other, this type of joint is called a lap joint. Riveted Lap joints are made by placing two plates above or below each other, creating a hole in these two plates & fixing the rivet inside the holes of the two plates, and hitting the rivet's tail with a hammer.

How to Calculate Diameter of rivets for lap joint?
