Allowable Bearing Pressure Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Bearing Stress = (Edge Load per Unit Width*Distance between Rivets)/(Plate Thickness*Diameter of Rivet)
fbr = (P*b)/(pt*Drivet)
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Bearing Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Bearing Stress is described as the contact pressure between the separate bodies.
Edge Load per Unit Width - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Edge Load per unit width is the force acting on the edges of an object having a unit width.
Distance between Rivets - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Rivets is the space between the two rivets present in a joint.
Plate Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Plate Thickness is the distance through the bearing plate.
Diameter of Rivet - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Rivet is somewhat equal to diameter of the hole in which rivetting is to be done. It is the diameter of the shank length of a rivet.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Edge Load per Unit Width: 40.4 Newton per Millimeter --> 40400 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)
Distance between Rivets: 1285 Millimeter --> 1.285 Meter (Check conversion here)
Plate Thickness: 101 Millimeter --> 0.101 Meter (Check conversion here)
Diameter of Rivet: 24 Millimeter --> 0.024 Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
fbr = (P*b)/(pt*Drivet) --> (40400*1.285)/(0.101*0.024)
Evaluating ... ...
fbr = 21416666.6666667
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
21416666.6666667 Pascal -->21.4166666666667 Newton per Square Millimeter (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
21.4166666666667 21.41667 Newton per Square Millimeter <-- Bearing Stress

Allowable Bearing Pressure Formula

Bearing Stress = (Edge Load per Unit Width*Distance between Rivets)/(Plate Thickness*Diameter of Rivet)
fbr = (P*b)/(pt*Drivet)

Factors affecting bearing pressure

The value of bearing pressure will change when either there is a change in the edge loads or the dimensions of the rivet or the plate.

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.
