Analytical study on Load Transferring Mechanism of the Frictional Bearing Joint by Mechanical Bearing Blind Rivet Bolts

Abstract

When repairing the plate of a member with a closed cross-section, a singe-sided construction bolt is applied. The authors proposed the Mechanical Bearing Blind Rivet Bolts, which can be installed on single side, and transmits the load by the bearing force acting by the contact between the bolt and the bolt hole wall and the friction force acting on the joint surface. The load-displacement relationship of the Mechanical Bearing Blind Rivet Bolts up to the sliding load is the same as that of the friction joint using M22F8T, and it is possible to apply the same use limit to Mechanical Bearing Blind Rivet Bolt joints as to friction joints.
