How do you calculate the force required to form a tubular riveted joint? Assume the tubular rivet's ID, OD, and initial and final length and diameters as variables.

    What sort of rivet? shear point of the shaft? Or the mass & velocity of the sledge? – Solar Mike Jun 08 '23 at 19:43
  • Tubular rivet. Its already mentioned in the question. If you meant what process, then consider an impact riveting. – Kaushik Jun 18 '23 at 12:47
  • It's not an impact riveting process exactly. The ram engages with the rivet first and then gradually applies load until the rivet is formed. You can assume other parameters. Not exactly sure what a shear point is. – Kaushik Jun 18 '23 at 12:54
  • So tubular... ok, normal rivet or blind? – Solar Mike Jun 18 '23 at 14:00
  • a normal rivet. – Kaushik Jun 19 '23 at 15:43
  • Ok, so now what material? aluminum? Copper? Iron? Steel? – Solar Mike Jun 19 '23 at 16:10
  • Does that matter? I just need an expression or a procedure to calculate the force. Not the actual value of force. Proceed with assuming variables for the necessary quantities as mentioned in the question. – Kaushik Jun 22 '23 at 14:14
