Abstract
The paper presents the results of experimental research, the aim of which was to assess the possibility of replacing rivets with solid one-sided rivets in connections of aircraft structures. Because one-sided rivets, in contrast to solid rivets, consist of many elements, the evaluation as a comparative criterion assumes not only the load capacity of connections, but also the resistance to the phenomenon of automatic dismantling of one-sided rivets subjected to a variable load. In fatigue tests, it was found that there is a possibility of replacing rivets with solid one-sided rivets, but the fatigue life of joints of one-sided joint connections depends significantly on the place of rupture of the one-sided blind pin in its heading process.
