JSAM3: RIVET AXIAL LOAD AT LAP JOINT FAILURE

This JSAM3 tool calculates the Load in the rivet of the riveted Lap joint at joint failure.

APPLICATION: This rivet load is then used in crash analysis software such as DYNA or other crash analysis software.

JOINT INPUT VARIABLES: Rivet Young’s Modulus and all rivet geometric variables can be used, such as rivet diameter and length.

OUTPUT: The Load in the rivet at joint failure.
