NACA WARTIME REPORTS are reprints of papers originally issued to provide rapid distribution ofadvance research results to an authorized group requiring them for the war effort. They were pre-viously held under a security status but are now unclassified. Some of these reports were not tech-nically edited. All have been reproduced without change in order to expedite general distribution.

TEST D&l!A ON THE SHEAR S9!RE19GTH 03’JOINTS ASS~MBti

“WITH ROUND-HUD AED BIl~IEE-HEAD RIVETS

By Herven M. liandel and llvan H. Scihuette.

A series of load-displacement curves ohtalned fromtests In shear of “jointe riveted with round-head (AM430)and brazier-head (A19455) rivets te presented. A eet ofourvos Is also presented oomparing the tightness of thetwo t~pee of rivet for one value of rivet diameter. Thespecimens used in these tests consisted of two sheets of24S-9 alumlnum alloy riveted together in the form of alap joint with two A 175-T aluminum alloy rivets, as shownin figure 1. The round or brazier head of the rivet wasdriven with a vibrating gun while the shank end was buckedwith a bar.

Loads were applied to the specimens through !l!empllngrips with a hydraulic testing machine accurate withinone-half of 1 percent. Displacements of one sheet withreopoct to the other were measured oa the edges of thesheets oTposite the center of the riveted joint by meansof two lE)-power microscopes with filar micrometers. Both :the displacement under load anfi the permanent displace-ment aftev removal of the load }Jere measured for succes-sively increasing loads until failure occurred.

The load-d18placement curves were plotted for allspecimens tested. (See figs. 2 to 6.) The shear loadeper rivet corresponding to permanent displacements of O.Old,0.02d, 0.03d, 0.04d, and 0.05d, where d is rivet diam-eter, were determined from these curves and are listed Intable I.

B’igure 7 chows a comparison of the load at variousvalues of permanent d.laplaoement for l/8-inch-diameterround-head and brazier-head rivets. The value of load ata given value of permanent dleplacement provldee a measureof the tightness of the joint. Eigure 7 therefore indicates

that, for sheet thickndsees of 0.064 and 0.081 inoh$ theuse of l/8-lnoh bra~~er-head rivets produces a tighterjoint in shear than does the useJ of l/8-inoh round-headr.ivetso For & sheet thlcknesa of 0.025 ~tioh,--the round-head rivets are tighter than the brasier-head rivets.Yor she”et”thicknesses .of 0.032 and 0.040 inch, the twotypes of rivet are of about equal quality with regard toti~htness.- “No oomparatlve tests .were made with sheetthicknesses less than 0.025 inch or greater than 0..081inch, or with rivets of diameters other than 1/8 inch.

Hardneds teste of representative samples of each ofthe two tyFes of ri-ret showed thht;they were ol’ about
