Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tests of Nickel-Steel Riveted Joints
In the United States the largest number of tests have been made at Watertown Arsenal9. In these tests deformation of joint was measured, but the efficiency of the joint was computed from the load carried at the ultimate. In 1896 in the Laboratory of Applied Mechanics of the University of Illinois a series of tensile tests of riveted joints was made under the direction of A. N. Talbot by Van Ostrand and Thompson. In these tests the slip of joint was found to begin at loads as low as those allowed in practice, and the effect of bending of rivet and of unequal distribution of stress in bearing of rivet and in shear was investigated.
