ANALYTICAL STUDY ON REPAIR METHOD FOR EXISTING RIVETED JOINTS REPLACED SOME RIVETS BY HIGH STRENGTH BOLTS AS FRICTIONAL CONNECTION

Abstract eng:
In case of the repair of a superannuated riveted joint, three methods are considered: 1st one is replacement of the superannuated rivets, 2nd one is installing the bearing type of the bolts, and 3rd one is installing the high strength bolts as the frictional joint. Using high strength frictional bolted connection is preferable method from the viewpoint of repair cost and easiness of repair works. However, the mechanical behaviour of the riveted joint in which some rivets are replaced by the frictional bolted joint is not clear. The objective of this study is to investigate analytically the strength of the riveted connection replaced some rivets by the high strength bolts, and to discuss the applicability of such repaired riveted joint considering the number and the position of the replaced rivets. It is concluded from the analytical results that the strength of the repaired riveted connection by using high strength bolts is effective for a repairing method of superannuated riveted joints.
