Failures in Rivet

Riveted joints can fail in four locations: 1. Shear failure of rivets when shear stresses exceed the rivets' working shear stress. 2. Tension failure of plates when tensile stresses cause plates to tear along rows of rivets. 3. Bearing failure of plates or rivets when bearing stresses crush the material. 4. Shear failure of plates when shear stresses exceed the plates' allowable shear stress.

4- Shearing stress failure in plate.
Assumption:
Shearing stress in rivets is equal and uniform. This assumption is
approximately true because the shearing stresses are actually
distributed in a non-uniform way across the area of the cut.

Shear stresses are generated in the rivets because the plates slip due
to applied forces. When this shear stress exceeds from working
shear stress, this type of failure takes place.

The plates which are connected


by rivets exert tensile stress on
