Heavy duty riveted gratings are a good alternative for applications that often employ other deck systems, if they are carefully analyzed under static and fatigue loads. Understanding the static behavior of a riveted steel deck under tire patch loads will aid in establishing a design model based on an effective beam width. In addition, use of a riveted system avoids welded details that may lead to fatigue cracking, thereby improving design life. In this study, analysis of a typical riveted steel deck under a standard AASHTO fatigue truck with a 15% impact factor was conducted. Hand calculations were compared with the results of a finite element model using SAP2000 v19.2.1. Bending moments and stresses were evaluated and compared. Stresses at the rivet hole for the most highly loaded bearing bar were evaluated. A model for fatigue cracking around a rivet hole is discussed.

Fatigue life estimations can be made by considering the -N or -N curves. Reliable estimations allow engineers designing save stress levels in structures or machines. In this paper, the Weibull distribution is combined with the Stüssi function to model the quantiles of the -N and -N curves and the Ramberg-Osgood relationship. The nonlinear Stüssi function offers a good geometric approach to model the relationship -N or -N and the Weibull distribution is the most adequate to handle lifetime magnitudes as load cycles N. To show the application of the proposed model, simulated and experimental data of ASTM A969 steel are evaluated.

“…Then the quality control of the riveting process concerning the fatigue performance of riveted joints can be achieved. Leonetti et al [ 19 ] proposed a system reliability model for estimating the probabilistic fatigue life of riveted shear connections. The model allows considering multiple site cracks.…”

In aircraft manufacturing, riveting is one of the most important connection ways to fasten the sheet metal parts. The riveted single strap butt joints are mainly used in the load-bearing components of the aircraft such as the fuselage and wing panels. The connection quality and fatigue performance of the riveted joints directly affect the reliability and safety of the aircraft. In this paper, under the assumption of constant temperature, the fatigue strengthening mechanism of interference-fit riveting is introduced based on elastic-plastic mechanics and fracture mechanics. On this basis, the finite element (FE) models of the riveted single strap butt joints with various strap thickness and rivet sizes/arrangements are established. The residual stresses distribution around the riveted hole is analyzed. Furthermore, the fatigue tests of the riveted single strap butt joints with cyclic loading are carried out. The experimental results verified the correctness and effectiveness of the simulation model. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that increasing rivet size and strap thickness within the allowable weight range can improve the fatigue performance of the riveted single strap butt joints. The knowledge could be used to guide the structural design and optimization of the riveted butt joints against fatigue.
