METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE INSTALLATION OF BLIND RIVETS, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INSTALLING BLIND RIVETS, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OBTAINING A PATTERN, AND AIRCRAFT

A method for evaluating installation of blind rivets including measuring the "cycle time" represented "y0", transmitting sound waves through the blind rivet installed in the structure, measuring the "travel time" represented "x0", relating "travel time" and "cycle time", and obtaining a pair of times (x0,y0), providing a time relation pattern establishing a borderline between an area of suitable rivets and an area of unsuitable rivets, the border represented y=f(x), so for cycle time values greater than y=f(x), it is considered a "suitable area", for cycle time values less than y=f(x), it is considered an "unsuitable area", representing pair (x0,y0) in the graphic representation and verifying if the value of y0 is greater or less than the value of y=f(x0), classifying installation of the rivet as suitable or unsuitable according to the verification.
