(OP)
Is there a standard or any guidelines as to how many layers of material a rivet can fasten together? Typcially I see a rivet fastening two or three layers of material together. I have a design that currently passes a rivet through 4 pcs of material.
The structure is an all aluminum housing, it is not a pressure vessle. The design is such that in a couple of areas I have a rivet passing through a mounting flange, stiffener plate, housing, and then an internal bracket. Am I asking too much of that rivet?
Any help, suggestions, or guidelines would be appreciated
