Abstract A detailed and accurate three-dimensional finite element stress analysis was conducted on countersunk rivet holes in a plate subjected to tension loading. The analysis included a wide range of countersunk depths, plate thicknesses, countersunk angles and plate widths. The study confirmed some of the previous results, addressed their differences, provided many new results, and investigated countersunk angle and width effects. Using the detailed FE results and the limiting conditions, a design equation for stress concentration was developed and verified.

Stress Patterns

Countersunk and snap riveted single lap joints have been examined both experimentally and numerically. A total of 11 specimens were fatigued to failure with failures occurring in either the plate or the rive***r. The failures have been metallurgically examined to determine the cause of failure. The joints have also been analysed using the finite element method. Initially a single lap joint has been modelled as a ‘stepped plate’ and the results for the stress concentration factor found to be in reasonable agreement with published data. However, the stress concentration for this joint occurred at a point away from the point of failure of a riveted joint. A fuller three-dimensional finite element model has been constructed and the stress patterns around the rivet determined. These stress patterns are discussed in relation to the results from the metallurgical examination.

Element Method

A kind of crack with similar characteristics has been discovered on the upstream surface of super-high arch dam. In this paper, the reason of cracking was analyzed by the three-dimensional finite element method. It is found that the stress concentration of concrete near the water-stop structure led to the concrete initial cracking in the process of transverse joint open.
