What are the two parts of a solid shank rivet?

The two parts of a solid shank rivet are correctly identified as the manufactured head and the shank. The manufactured head is the larger, flared portion of the rivet that provides the necessary surface area to hold the materials together once the rivet is installed. This head is typically shaped in a way that optimizes its ability to withstand shear forces and prevent pull-through during loading.

The shank, on the other hand, is the cylindrical portion of the rivet that is inserted into the drilled holes of the materials being joined. It provides the necessary length to accommodate the thickness of the materials and allows for deformation during the installation process, which secures the materials tightly together.

Understanding these components is essential for proper riveting techniques and ensuring structural integrity in aerospace assembly, as both parts play critical roles in the performance and reliability of riveted joints.
