Allowable Bearing Pressure evaluator uses Bearing Stress = (Edge Load per Unit Width*Distance between Rivets)/(Plate Thickness*Diameter of Rivet) to evaluate the Bearing Stress, Allowable Bearing Pressure refers to the maximum pressure that a bearing or contact surface can sustain without experiencing excessive wear, deformation, or failure, it is a critical parameter in engineering design, particularly in applications where loads are transmitted through contact surfaces, such as in bearings, joints, or structural connections. Bearing Stress is denoted by fbr symbol.
