Design Against Static Load
GATE 2013
Medium

For the same single riveted lap joint described above (width w=200 mm, thickness t=5 mm, n=3 rivets, dh=11 mm, allowable tensile stress of the plate σp=200 MPa), if the plates are to be designed to avoid tearing failure, the maximum permissible load P in kN is

  • A83
  • B125
  • 167
  • D501

Explanation

Tearing strength = net cross-sectional width × thickness × σp = (w − n·dh)×t×σp = (200−3×11)×5×200 = 167×5×200 = 167,000 N = 167 kN.
