Supersonic Effects on Rivets introduces aerospace components, such as rivets, used in subsonic and supersonic/hypersonic aircraft. It investigates the various alloys used to manufacture rivets/fasteners and the heat treatment of those alloys.

Providing background on supersonic/hypersonic aircraft, the book discusses selecting materials, rivet arrangement, skin friction/drag effects, estimating temperature, thermal properties, and fatigue testing of aerospace rivets. It includes real-world case studies on aircraft failures due to incorrect design and failure mechanisms of aerospace rivets.

The book will be useful for practicing aerospace/aeronautical engineers, materials scientists, and metallurgical engineers.

Industry Reviews

"This seminal book represents an excellent resource on the selection of materials for rivets in aerospace applications. Through rigorous modelling, insightful materials science, and compelling case studies, the authors masterfully dissect the pivotal role of rivets in aerospace engineering and offer profound insights into both the triumphs and tragedies of the industry, including the iconic Concorde. This highly readable text is suitable for students, educators, and aerospace engineers." - Michael Ferry, Professor & Head, School of Materials Science & Engineering, University of New South Wales
