Abstract
This paper presents an analysis about the influence of the types of rivets and their methods of application in the strength of overlap riveted joints. For the evaluation of these influences, riveted joints made of 2024 T3 aluminum alloy plates were manufactured and submitted to tensile-shear tests to obtaining force-displacement diagrams according to ASTM E8 standard test method. It was observed that, among the rivets tested, the countersunk had the highest strength and the RIVNUT the lowest based in their ultimate load capacity. Additionally, the dimpling process in the installation of countersunk rivets increased the strength of the joint in about 17% to 27%. This process also had great contribution for the alignment between the rivet factory head and the aluminum plate.
