    Here are my suggestions
    A] For theoretically zero load, you will not need any joint. Only two plates on one another will solve the purpose (See "Successfully constrained motion").

    B]However, if at all there is any load, check for
    1. Tearing efficiency
    2. Crushing efficiency and
    3. Shearing efficiency. Whichever is the least, will be designing parameter for safest design.

    C] For economical design, use 3D software.

    For developing concept, refer Design of Machine Elements by V.B. Bhandari.
