Q: Which of the following assumptions are made in the design of rivet joints? A. Rivets are stressed equally B. Stress in plate is maximum at mid–width C. Rivet hole is completely filled by rivet D. Friction between plates is neglected
  • A. Only A
  • B. A and C only
  • C. B and D only
  • D. A, C and D only
Correct Answer: Option D - Assumption (Design of rivet joints) • Friction between plates is neglected. • Shear stress is uniform over cross - section of rivet. • Bending stress in rivet is neglected. • Rivets in group subjected to direct load share the load equally. • Rivets fill the hole completely. • Distribution of direct stress on the portion of plates between rivet hole is uniform.
D. Assumption (Design of rivet joints) • Friction between plates is neglected. • Shear stress is uniform over cross - section of rivet. • Bending stress in rivet is neglected. • Rivets in group subjected to direct load share the load equally. • Rivets fill the hole completely. • Distribution of direct stress on the portion of plates between rivet hole is uniform.
