  1. A bracket (shown in figure) is rigidly mounted on wall using four rivets. Each rivet is 6 mm in diameter and has an effective length of 12 mm.

    Direct shear stress (in MPa) in the most heavily loaded rivet is

    Given: Number of rivets = 4,
    Diameter of each rivet, d = 6 × 10–3m
    Direct load on the bracket = 1000 N
    since there is no eccentricity

    ∴ Load on each rivet =
    1000
    = 250N
    4

    ∴ Shear stress =
    P
    =
    250
    = 8.8 MPa
