Allowable Bearing Pressure Formula Elements

Variables
Bearing Stress
Bearing Stress is described as the contact pressure between the separate bodies.
Symbol: fbr
Measurement: PressureUnit: N/mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Edge Load per Unit Width
Edge Load per unit Width is the force acting on the edges of an object having a unit width.
Symbol: P
Measurement: Surface TensionUnit: N/mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Distance between Rivets
Distance between Rivets is the space between the two rivets present in a joint.
Symbol: b
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Plate Thickness
Plate Thickness is the distance through the bearing plate.
Symbol: pt
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Diameter of Rivet
Diameter of Rivet is somewhat equal to diameter of the hole in which rivetting is to be done. It is the diameter of the shank length of a rivet.

How to Evaluate Allowable Bearing Pressure?

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.

How to evaluate Allowable Bearing Pressure using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Allowable Bearing Pressure, enter Edge Load per Unit Width (P), Distance between Rivets (b), Plate Thickness (pt) & Diameter of Rivet (Drivet) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Allowable Bearing Pressure

What is the formula to find Allowable Bearing Pressure?
The formula of Allowable Bearing Pressure is expressed as Bearing Stress = (Edge Load per Unit Width*Distance between Rivets)/(Plate Thickness*Diameter of Rivet). Here is an example- 2.1E-5 = (37700*1.285)/(0.094*0.024).
How to calculate Allowable Bearing Pressure?
With Edge Load per Unit Width (P), Distance between Rivets (b), Plate Thickness (pt) & Diameter of Rivet (Drivet) we can find Allowable Bearing Pressure using the formula - Bearing Stress = (Edge Load per Unit Width*Distance between Rivets)/(Plate Thickness*Diameter of Rivet).
Can the Allowable Bearing Pressure be negative?
No, the Allowable Bearing Pressure, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Allowable Bearing Pressure?
Allowable Bearing Pressure is usually measured using the Newton per Square Millimeter[N/mm²] for Pressure. Pascal[N/mm²], Kilopascal[N/mm²], Bar[N/mm²] are the few other units in which Allowable Bearing Pressure can be measured.
