Book Description

S-N curves at the range ratio of 0.2 were experimentally obtained for each of the following values of rivet pitch as used in a single-row lap joint of 0.025- to 0.025-inch 24S-T alclad with one-eighht AN43O round-head rivets. Families of constant rivet pitch curves, which define the fatigue of constant specimens studied, were developed. Curves showing the variation of the effective stress concentration factor in fatigue with rivet pitch and maximum load per rivet were also established.
