ANALYSIS OF TENSION ASSEMBLY TECHNOLOGY OF BOLTED AND RIVETED JOINTS
The PURPOSE of the paper is to review and analyze the assembly technique of metal packs using bolted and riveted joints. METHODS. Analysis of sheet pack assembly is based on the consideration of a phased technology of bolted and riveted joints. RESULTS. The types of bolted and riveted joints and their application fields have been investigated. The formation principles of the technological process of bolted and riveted joints are given. The methods of making holes for the shanks of bolted-riveted joints and used equipment are described. The methods of shank installation and bolted-riveted joint ring compression using modern equipment are presented. CONCLUSION. The conducted researches allowed to identify both the strengths and weaknesses of the tension assembly technology of bolted and riveted joints as well as to indicate the directions of further researches.
