Question

In practice, both the rivet itself (length, diameter) and the hole in which it is placed have tolerances. How do these affect the eventual joint strength? (5 points) Hint: Consider that riveting can be done in two quite different ways: (1) displacement-driven, i.e. the riveting press moves forward a certain stroke, irrespective of the force that it builds up, and (2) force-driven, i.e. the press moves forward until a certain force is reached, irrespective of the required stroke.

Answer 1

Answer:

The quality of a formed rivet is determined by the geometry from its formation of the river heat, and the extent to which the hole is filled up by the rivet.

Explanation:

The quality of a formed rivet is determined by the geometry from its formation of the river heat, and the extent to which the hole is filled up by the rivet. This helps determine the squeeze force, rivet length, rivet diameter tolerance, hole countersunk depth and hole diameter tolerance, plays a big role on the quality of rivet formed. When the tolerance of the hole it’s placed is smaller the grip from the river is stronger unlike when it’s loose.
