Rivet:
- A rivet is a short cylindrical bar with a head integral to it.
- It is a permanent mechanical fastener.
- The spacing of the rivet holes depends upon the job.
- The minimum distance from the rivet hole center to the plate edge depends on the rivet type, plate thickness, and loading conditions.
- However, there are general guidelines to ensure the structural integrity of the joint.
- In general, the margin of the rivet is 1.5d
- For General-Purpose Rivets:
- Single Shear: 1.5 x rivet diameter
- Double Shear: 2.0 x rivet diameter
- For High-Strength Rivets:
- Single Shear: 2.0 x rivet diameter
- Double Shear: 2.5 x rivet diameter
- For Thin Plates (thickness less than 1/8 inch):
- All Rivets: 1.0 x rivet diameter
The purpose of this is to prevent the splitting of the edges.
The maximum distance from the edge should not be more than ten times the thickness of the plate.
Too much distance from the edge will lead to Gapping.
Too closely spaced rivets will tear the metal along the centerline of the rivets.
