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.
