It depends on how hard rivet and plate are attached together. If you know that, then this is a simple torque/force question which you can solve with some basic equations.gowtham said:View attachment 216260 A plate is riveted with a rivet having small rod like projection over the head and the point as shown in drawing.Considering we fix the plate to a vise,and then giving torque to the Rivet Rod;What will be the Maximum Torque the rivet can withstand without getting loosened and how to calculate the Maximum Torque" it?
Wouldn't that mean the rivet just spins in its hole?gowtham said:The torque is applied about the rivet axis!

Of course the rivet spin in its hole,But there might be some force involved, above only which it will start spinning. Assuming that force as frictional force.How do we proceed with it?russ_watters said:Wouldn't that mean the rivet just spins in its hole?
The rivet is actually installed using an air hammer.gowtham said:Of course the rivet spin in its hole,But there might be some force involved, above only which it will start spinning. Assuming that force as frictional force.How do we proceed with it?
Tom.G said:From a non-mechanical guy: It seems the clamping force between rivet and disk will be limited by the plastic deformation limit of either the mating surfaces or the rivet shank. Knowing that, and the contact area between the rivet head(s) and the disc, you can find the maximum clamping force. Then use the coefficient of friction between the two components, the clamping force, and the contact area to find the sliding force.
The maximum torque a riveted joint can withstand can be calculated using the formula: T = F x d x K, where T is the maximum torque, F is the force applied, d is the distance from the center of the joint to the bolt, and K is the coefficient of friction. This formula takes into account the strength of the material, the size of the joint, and the amount of friction between the parts.
Several factors can affect the maximum torque a riveted joint can withstand, including the strength and quality of the materials used, the size and type of the joint, the number and size of the rivets, and the amount of friction between the parts. It is important to consider all of these factors when calculating the maximum torque a riveted joint can withstand.
No, the formula for calculating the maximum torque for a riveted joint may vary depending on the type of joint and the materials used. It is important to use a specific formula that is appropriate for the type of joint and materials being used to ensure an accurate calculation.
Yes, it is important to include a safety factor in the calculation of the maximum torque for a riveted joint. This ensures that the joint can withstand unexpected loads or variations in the materials or assembly process. The safety factor can vary depending on the specific application, but it is typically recommended to use a factor of 1.5 to 2 times the calculated maximum torque.
Yes, there are several methods for testing the maximum torque a riveted joint can withstand, such as using a torque wrench to apply increasing levels of torque and measuring the point of failure, or conducting a destructive test on a sample joint. It is important to follow proper testing procedures and safety precautions when conducting these tests.
