Abstract

Within the industry today, companies save significant amounts of money through computer simulations. Mathematics through numerical methods becomes more important and therefore the investigation is done with the Finite Element Method (FEM). This work presents an analysis of riveted joint which is to define and explore the distribution of the stress of the riveted joint process. The effect of the clamping pressure was simulated and the distribution of the stress was conducted. The analysis was conducted using the available commercial finite element packages MSC.Nastran - Patran and MSC Marc using Solution 600 (implicit nonlinear). A 2-D axisymmetric model is used to describe the problem. The simulation was modeled using four different types of material (aluminum, silver, brass and iron). All materials and geometric non-linearity as well as non linear contact boundary condition is used in this model.
