The Analysis of the Influence of Riveting Parameters Specified in Selected Riveting Instructions on Residual Stresses

Abstract

The riveting parameters strongly affect residual stresses induced during riveting, which in turn have an impact on the fatigue life of riveted joints. Since rivets are established as critical from the fatigue point of view, the fatigue life of riveted joints often determines the life of the whole structure.
