Abstract
The study focused mainly on one of the parameters of mount technology - tolerance for fitting the rivet in the hole in riveted and hybrid (riveted adhesive) joints. The research included numerical simulations of double lap joints with four rivets arranged in two rows and subjected to uniaxial tension. Simulations were carried out in Abaqus both for the purely mechanical and the hybrid joints. The connections without clearance (neat-fit) and with clearance of 0.2 mm, as well as with interference of-0.2 mm. The presence of clearance in one of the holes in the hybrid joint causes a decrease in the capacity of the hybrid connection by about 15% in configuration 1 (Fig. 2). This decrease can be even higher (21%) in the worse clearance placement, i.e. in configuration 2 (Fig. 2). The study shows that the occurrence of clearance in the holes can lead to dangerous consequences, so it is recommended to use holes calibration or develop a special type of rivet.
