	Rivet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rivet is a mechanical fastener consisting of a smooth cunt cylindrical shaft with heads on either end, the second one formed in position.
		This can be done with a solid rivet, either by applying force by holding up the head end with a dolly and clinching the other with a manual or a pneumatic hammer or with a die over the end to be clinched, by squeezing rivet and work together with a press.
		Riveting is still widely used in applications where light weight and high strength are critical, such as in airplanes.

	RC-135 Rivet Joint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rivet Joint's modifications are primarily related to its on-board sensor suite, which allows the mission crew to detect, identify and geolocate signals throughout the electromagnetic spectrum.
		The Rivet Joint fleet is currently undergoing significant airframe, navigational and powerplant upgrades which include re-engining from the TF-33 to the CFM-56 engines used on the KC-135 Stratotanker and upgrade of the flight deck instrumentation and navigational systems to the AMP standard.
		All Rivet Joint airframe and mission systems modifications are overseen by L3's, formerly Raytheon’s, Greenville, Texas facility, under the oversight of the Air Force Materiel Command.

		RIVET [rivet] headed metal pin or bolt whose shaft is passed through holes in two or more pieces of metal, wood, plastic, or other material in order to unite them by forming the plain end into a second head.
		After the rivet is pushed into the hole, the rod is pulled back through, crushing the end of the rivet into a head and forcing the sides of the tube against the walls of the hole.
		The explosive blind rivet is filled with an explosive; when the head is heated with an iron, the explosive ignites and expands the headless end over the edge of the hole.

	Visualizing Complex Systems
		Rivet is a powerful and flexible system, providing analysts with a single tool that can be learned once and applied to a wide range of problems.
		The underlying approach in the development of Rivet is to understand and analyze the visualization process itself: to identify the set of fundamental visualization components, or building blocks, and define their interfaces and relationships.
		Rivet provides a single, cohesive visualization environment that is well-suited for this iterative process: it can be readily adapted to the varying demands of the computer systems analysis, enabling users to learn the system once and apply that knowledge to any problem.

	Rivet it Right—The First Time! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Riveting tools that alert operators to such problems as they occur can yield substantial savings in rework and reputation, because flaws can be corrected before the assembly moves to the next station or worse, into the field.
		A blind rivet is a two-piece fastener that consists of a headed, hollow rivet body and a solid mandrel.
		If a riveting inconsistency is severe enough, the control unit can signal the PLC to shut off air to the tool and stop the line until a supervisor accepts or rejects the assembly in question.

		rivet, from river, to fix, fasten together, of unknown origin; Skeat compares Icel.
		A rivet, made of wrought iron, copper or other malleable substance, is usually made with a head at one end, the other end being hammered out after passing through the plates so as to keep them closely fastened together.
		A bolt differs from a rivet in that one or both ends have screw-threads to hold a nut (see SHIPBUILDING).

		The length of the rivet is determined by the thicknesses of the material being held together.
		When the rivet is secure, begin heating the exposed shank of the rivet with a welding torch with a medium tip.

	America on the Move \| Rivet Gun, Small, Pneumatic
		Small-size, pneumatic rivet gun, type used in locomotive work for small rivets and, with a "shaping" swage (the swage is the small tool inserted into the business end of the gun, so that the gun can do its work) for sealing boiler tubes.
		Thus, as the riveter hammered a hot rivet home with his gun, the end of the rivet on the opposite side from the rivet gun would blossom out into a shaped head and create a tight joint.
		The riveter (with his gloved hand) or a junior assistant caught the rivet and inserted the rivet in the hole.

	The Bug-Rivet Paradox (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The rivet is considered to the be the reference frame, and x' and t' are used for positions and times.
		The bug disagrees with this analysis and finds the time for the rivet head to hit the wall is earlier than the time for the rivet end to reach the bottom of the hole.
		Rivet end in bug frame is simultaneously at x=-.35 cm, but it is not simultaneous in the rivet frame.

	Design Considerations for the Use of Rivets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A portion of the rivet length is required for clinching and for tubular and semi-tubular rivets.
		Outside prong rivets are clinched with the legs turned inward or outward into the material depending on the setting anvil.
		Tubular rivets used in this manner are made with deeper holes in the shank to accommodate the punched-out material.

	How to peen a rivet
		When riveting fabric or leather, it is a good idea to put a special washer, called a burr, under the finished head of the rivet.
		This makes the rivet "stick" in the hole a bit, which is handy, because otherwise it will tend to "dance around" as you try and peen it.
		The rivet head that you have formed should look as nice as the one made by the factory on the other side.

	Dan Checkoway's RV-7 Project - Rivets and Riveting
		The pneumatic rivet gun impacts the rivet, which acts as a medium and sends the impulse through to the bucking bar resting on the other end.
		Now here's where riveting diverges from the ball demonstration...if the rivet gun had shot a single impulse, the bucking bar would strike the rivet and then the gun would get pushed away in turn...conservation of momentum and all that.
		But the general rule of thumb is that a properly driven rivet has a resulting protruding height of half the original diameter, and a resulting diameter of 1 ½ times the original diameter.
