Thank you for your valued response Wil.
I have requested data from Textron Aerospace Division in Santa Ana and all they have supplied to date is copies of MIL-HDB-5 for shear allowable when I specifically requested data for tension in thin alloy plates!!
I believe your recommended minimum...
Thanks for your thoughts rb1957.
I was just hoping that some published data was available that I could refer to in my calculations that showed the effect of backing material thickness - life is never simple!!
I totally agree that a solid rivet or a bolt would be a better choice and easy to...
Crackkilz, thanks for your further response.
It appears that tension capabilites for blind rivets are not quoted in ANY Design Handbooks and as the failure mode of the blind rivet is not generally a head or tail failure but due to tail pull-out from the backing material I do not feel I can base...
Thanks for your response CRACKKILZ & SuperStress.
I am keen to find a reference that shows the effect of joint thickness on ultimate tensile strength for the NAS1398B or any blind rivet would be very helpful.
Thanks.

I am currently seeking advice on acceptable tensile allowables for NAS1398B Blind Rivets, it appears that the established references like Bruhn and Nui do not supply any clues for reference data.
The 10% of shear allowable as determined by MMPDS would be too conservative in my application and I...
