Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Bolted Connections with Blind Rivet Nuts

摘要

In the article authors presented numerical and experimental investigation of bolted connections with blind rivet nuts. Classification of screw connections and the associated validation process are described. The influence of the strength of connected elements on the strength of connection is discussed. Authors present also tests results and mode of failure of rivet nut connection. Results are significantly lower than values declared by manufacturer of a blind rivet nuts.
