A riveted joint with single rivet and a bolted connection with single bolt are perfect pin-joints. When number of rivets/ bolts along the axis of member increases, the degree of restriction to rotation gradually increases and becomes a rigid joint, which prevents rotation by offering moment reaction.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

Riveting is the process of a joining to pieces of material (metal, cloth or other) by way of mechanical force using a riveter. Spot welding is the process of joining 2 or more pieces of metal by way of heating the metal to its melting point and fusing the material together at one given location or spot.

The difference between a pin joint and a hinge joint is the way they allow a linkage to move. With a pin joint, each part of the linkage can move at an angle that is relative to each part. With a hinge joint, one part of the linkage is fixed while the other can move freely.
