DOUBLE AND SIMPLE SHEAR
DOUBLE AND SIMPLE SHEAR
(OP)
Hi people:
Could somebody explain me the difference between simple and double shear in order to calculate riveted joints?
As far as I know, three pieces riveted together are a double shear example. Only two pieces riveted are simple shear. Am I right?
And if I´m right, in double shear all pieces works in that way or only the middle one can be sized as a double shear.
Cheers!

RE: DOUBLE AND SIMPLE SHEAR
The "double" and "single" shear terms apply only to the fastener. The members should be designed for the force they "see". In my above double shear example, the outter two members would each feel half of the pulling force and the inner member would feel all of the pulling force. Drawing a free-body diagram will help make that more clear for you.
