Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to find the appropriate number of rivet for a butt joint
for tensile stress. In the aircraft, there are a lot of part that connected by using
rivet. So, the correct number of rivet is needed. Therefore, this project will
determine the suitable number of rivet for a butt joint surface repair to achieve
sustainability in tensile stress. The research will focused on the comparison
between specimens with different number of rivet on the aluminum sheet with butt
joint. The tensile strength evaluation is done by experimental analysis. The results
will be compared with the different number of rivet on the specimen. Specimens
test will be prepared based on ASTM to determine the appropriate number of rivet
that needed for a butt joint by using tensile testing. The conclusion will be based
on the results and the discoveries that will be found during the research that will be conducted.
