Riveting Force Calculator:
Enter the values of Shear Strength of the rivet SS(lbf/inches2) & Cross Sectional Area A(inches2) to determine the value of Riveting Force RF(lbf).
Riveting Force Formula:
The Riveting Force RF(lbf) in lbf is equal to the Shear Strength of the rivet SS(lbf/inches2) in lbf per inches square into multiply the Cross Sectional Area A(inches2) in inches square.
The formula of Riveting Force can be writtern as,
RF(lbf) = SS(lbf/inches2) * A(inches2)
Here,
RF(lbf) = Riveting Force in lbf
SS(lbf/inches2) = Shear Strength of the rivet in lbf per inches square
A(inches2) = Cross Sectional Area in inches square
Example Problems for Riveting Force Calculation:
1)Calculate the Riveting Force and Shear Strength = 450lbs/inches2 and Cross Sectional Area =3inches2.
Answer
RF = SS * A
RF = 450 * 3
RF = 1350lbf.
2)Calculate the Shear Strength and Riveting Force = 1350lbf and the Cross Sectional Area =3inches2.
Answer
RF = SS * A
1350 = SS * 3
SS = 450lbs/inches2.
