How to Calculate Allowable Bearing Pressure?
Allowable Bearing Pressure calculator uses Bearing Stress = (Edge Load per Unit Width*Distance between Rivets)/(Plate Thickness*Diameter of Rivet) to calculate the Bearing Stress, Allowable Bearing Pressure is the heaviest load that the rivets or plates can sustain without any failure. Bearing Stress is denoted by fbr symbol.
How to calculate Allowable Bearing Pressure using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Allowable Bearing Pressure, enter Edge Load per Unit Width (P), Distance between Rivets (b), Plate Thickness (pt) & Diameter of Rivet (Drivet) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Allowable Bearing Pressure calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.1E-5 = (40400*1.285)/(0.101*0.024).
