Solution to Problem 332 | Flanged bolt couplings

Problem 332
In a rivet group subjected to a twisting couple T, show that the torsion formula τ = Tρ/J can be used to find the shearing stress τ at the center of any rivet. Let J = ΣAρ², where A is the area of a rivet at the radial distance ρ from the centroid of the rivet group.
