Sheet metal parts are widely used in airframes. Most sheet metal parts used in aircraft assembly are joined using rivets. A number of riveting parameters directly influence fatigue properties of a structure. These include a rivet length, driven head diameter, tolerance of a rivet hole and a rivet shank diameter, and a protective layer among others. Unfavourable selection or change of these parameters can lead to stress concentrations and early crack nucleation. Crack growth can cause failure of a whole structure.
