Bibliography about Blind Rivets
Bibliography about Blind Rivets
(OP)
Hello everybody,
I'm searching bibliography about blind rivets and the surprise is there isn't so much information (or at least I didn't find it), specially how to calculate connections, design criteria, etc. I'm really interested in lap metalsheets joints.
My questions are:
1.- Does anybody know any special methodology to calculate blind riveted connections? Can I follow the same methodology than bolted connections?
2.- Bibliography about blind rivets. Any suggestion?¿
Thanks a lot,
Ripubcn

RE: Bibliography about Blind Rivets
You can start with Machinery's Handbook. There is a large section on fasteners. Aerospace stress analysis books such as those of Bruhn and Michael C. Y. Niu have discussions on blind rivets.
The stress analysis of such joints is the same as for other riveted joints but using the appropriate rivet shear strength.

I will try to find these both references and general riveted joints information.
