Riveted assemblies are provided that can include: a first component having opposing first and second sidewalls; a second component having opposing third and fourth sidewalls, wherein the second sidewall of the first component abuts the third sidewall of the second component to bind and form an affixing interface comprising the second and third sidewall between the first component to the second component; and a rivet extending between a head along a shank to an end, the rivet piercing the first sidewall with the end of the rivet being between the first and fourth sidewalls. Methods for affixing at least two components using a rivet are also provided. The methods can include: providing a first component having opposing first and second sidewalls; providing a second component having opposing third and fourth sidewalls; abutting the second sidewall of the first component to the third sidewall of the second component; providing a rivet extending between a head along a shank to an end; projecting the rivet through at least the first sidewall of the first component to form an affixing interface comprising the second and third sidewalls.
