A single riveted lap joint of two similar plates as shown in the figure below has the following geometrical and material details.
width of the plate w=200 mm, thickness of the plate t=5 mm, number of rivets n=3, diameter of the rivet dr=10 mm, diameter of the rivet hole dn=11 mm, allowable tensile stress of the plate σp=200 MPa, allowable shear stress of the rivet σs=100 MPa and allowable bearing stress of the rivet σc=150 MPa.
If the plates are to be designed to avoid tearing failure,the maximum permissble load P in kN is
