  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.
