Abstract
An investigation was made of the existing flush rivet
inspection criteria and inspection methods to establish a
norm for commercial flush riveted joints. Studies were made
of thirty-four flush riveted joint load deformation curves
to obtain their general characteristics and to establish
some correlation of yield load as defined in ANC-5 and as
defined in Report on Flush Riveted Joint Strength by
ARC Rivet and Screw Allowables Subcommittee (Airworthiness
Project 12). The specimens corresponding to the load deformation curves were comprised of 18 machine countersunk
joints, 12 double dimple joints and four sub-countersunk
joints. Within each type of joints the specimen varied in
series of sheet material and thickness, rivet material and rivet
size.
