Practically, after the rivet cooled down, it suffers a certain amount of shrinkage but for uniformity and ease in calculation we consider the rivet Hole to be completely filled by a rivet.
The stress distribution is considered uniform in rivet joints.
Plate friction is also neglected.
To calculate the size of the rivet, Unwin’s formula is used.
⇒ d = 6.04√t,
Where
t is the thickness of the plate in mm and d is the nominal diameter of rivet in mm
