MECHANICAL JOINTS
To connect one or more mechanical parts in assemblies
Joining Vs Fastening
• Joining- Bonding between the base metals.
Permanent- Welding, Brazing & soldering, Bonded,
Pressed, Rolled, Hybrid.
• Fastening- No bonding between the base metals.

Temporary- Threaded Joints (Bolted, screw, studs),
pin joint, Cotter & Knuckle joint, Couplings,
Splines.
Permanent- Riveted joints.

Advantages of Riveted Joints

• Low skilled worker is required.
• No thermal after effects, as in welding.
• Can be used for joining two different materials
• Can be used for non-ferrous metals
• Ability to resist vibration and impact load
• Can be used for very thin plates
• Easily inspected

Disadvantages
• Material cost is more
• More Weight
• Stress concentration
• Preprocessing
• Permanent fastening
• Processing to make fluid tight joint
• Low efficiency
• Feasible for only Lap and Butt Joints
Applications
Traditional mechanical structures involving

riveted joints are classified into the following
three groups:
• Boilers, pressure vessels and tanks
• Bridges, trusses, cranes general machinery
• Hulls of ship

Types of Rivets (on the basis of heads)

There are number of shapes for the head of the
rivet.
• Snap or button head rivet
• Pan head rivet or cone head rivet
• Countersunk head rivet
• Flat head rivet

Terminology of Riveted Joints

• Pitch (p): the pitch of the rivet is defined as the distance
between the centre of one rivet to the centre of the adjacent
rivet in the same row.
Usually, p = 3d ( d is the shank diameter)
• Margin (m): The margin is the distance between the edge
of the plate to the centre line of rivets in the nearest row.
Usually, m = 1.5d

Caulking
Caulking is an operation in which the outer bevel edges (about 75-
80o) are hammered and driven in by a caulking tool to produce fluid
tight riveted joints in the applications like Boiler, Pressure vessels,
ship etc.
• The caulking tool is in the form of a blunt edge chisel.
• The thickness of tool is about 5 mm and breadth is about 38 mm.
• Surface finish obtained is less compared to fullering.
• More risk of damaging the plates.

Fullering
• It is used to obtain leak proof joints.
• It is carried out by using fullering tools.
• The thickness of tool is equal to the thickness of the plate.
• It is gives clean surface finish.
• Less risk of damaging the plates.

Assumptions for the design of riveted joint
• Load is assumed to be uniformly distributed among all the

rivets
• Stress in plate is assumed to be uniform
• Shear stress is assumed to be uniformly distributed over
the gross area of rivets
• Bearing stress (Crushing stress) is assumed to be uniform
between the contact surfaces of plate and rivet
• Bending stress in rivet is neglected
• Rivet hole is assumed to be completely filled by the rivet
• Friction between plates is neglected
Material for rivets

• The material of the rivets must be tough and ductile. They are usually made
of steel (low carbon steel or nickel steel), brass, aluminium or copper, but
when strength and a fluid tight joint is the main consideration, then the steel
rivets are used.
The rivets for general purposes shall be manufactured from steel
conforming to the following Indian Standards :
(a) IS : 1148–1982 (Reaffirmed 1992) – Specification for hot rolled rivet

bars (up to 40 mm
diameter) for structural purposes; or
(b) IS : 1149–1982 (Reaffirmed 1992) – Specification for high tensile steel
rivet bars for
structural purposes.
The rivets for boiler work shall be manufactured from material conforming
to IS : 1990 – 1973
(Reaffirmed 1992) – Specification for steel rivets and stay bars for boilers.

Design of riveted joints

• In design equations d is diameter of rivet hole.
• If number of rivets & width is not given (n, w-
nd) analysis is to be done considering number
of rows (n, p-d).
TYPES OF FAILURE
(i) shear failure of the rivet;
(ii) tensile failure of the plate between two
consecutive rivets;
(iii) crushing failure of the plate;
(iv) tearing of the plate in the margin area.
