Adhesive, welded, soldered, riveted and pinned joints
Nominal stresses and pre-design sizing for bonded, welded, soldered/brazed, riveted and pinned joints.
Choose the joint type and geometry, check nominal stress, and observe the stated model limits before adopting the result.
Calculators in this category
Adhesive Lap Joint Calculator
Calculate the bonded area of a simple lap joint from bond width and overlap length and the nominal mean shear stress at a known load.
Open calculator →Adhesive Overlap Length Calculator
Calculate the approximate overlap length an adhesive joint needs from transmitted force, bond width and allowable nominal shear stress.
Open calculator →Adhesive Joint Safety Factor Calculator
Calculate the nominal shear stress and safety factor of an adhesive lap joint against the bond strength of the adhesive.
Open calculator →Bonded Shaft-Hub Joint Torque Calculator
Calculate the approximate transmissible torque of a cylindrical bonded shaft-hub joint from bond diameter, bond length and allowable shear stress.
Open calculator →Solder and Braze Lap Joint Calculator
Calculate the nominal shear stress of a soldered or brazed lap joint from force, joint width and overlap, or the overlap needed for an allowable stress.
Open calculator →Rivet Shear Stress Calculator
Calculate the mean shear stress in the rivets of a joint from load, rivet diameter, rivet count and single or double shear.
Open calculator →Rivet bearing (hole-bearing) stress
Calculate the bearing (hole-bearing) stress σl of a riveted joint from the transverse load, rivet hole diameter, number of load-carrying rivets and the governing plate thickness: σl = F/(n·d0·tmin). Solvable for any input, e.g. the plate thickness or rivet count needed for a permissible bearing stress.
