Download or read book Effect of Ratio of Rivet Pitch to Rivet Diameter on the Fatigue Strength of Riveted Joints of 24S-T Aluminum-alloy Sheet written by Harold Crate and published by . This book was released on 1946 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extensive series of tests were conducted on riveted joints to determine the effect of rivet size and rivet pitch on the fatigue life of joints subjected to "prying" (combined tensile and bending) loads. For each sheet thickness tested, there appeared to be a value of the ratio of rivet pitch to rivet diameter that would ensure a near maximum of the ratio of fatigue strength to static ultimate strength for the joint.
