STUDY AND INVESTIGATION OF RIVETED JOINT DESIGN CRITERIA FOR NAVAL AIRCRAFT AND MISSILES

Abstract

The following recommendations were made: (1) retain existing MIL-HDBK-5 rivet criteria for piloted aircraft; propose new criteria for missiles and pilotless aircraft; (2) initiate a design standard defining details of test specimens, yield criteria determination, rivet patterns edge distances, sheet thickness, rates of loading, heating rates, etc; (3) institute a BuWeps bulletin for release of recommended rivet-joint allowables on new rivets and sheet materials; (4) undertake a test program for development of room and short-time elevated temperature load allowable for A 286 solid rivets; (5) propose criteria for Al alloy rivets in Al alloy sheet materials; (6) correlate available rivet test information for recommended load allowables; (7) outline an ultra-short-time elevated temperature research and testing program; and (8) incidental to items (4) and (7) obtain information on creep and/or creep-rupture and fatigue strength of rivet joints at elevated temperatures.
