RESEARCH ON CUMULATIVE DAMAGE IN FATIGUE OF RIVETED ALUMINUM ALLOY JOINTS,

Abstract

Two-step tests and interval tests were performed on 24 S-T Alclad riveted lap joints to study the cumulation of fatigue damage in this type of joint and to verify the linear cumulative damage rule. Available data on light alloy specimens are reviewed and compared with the results of the present investigation. It is tried to establish some general trends of the cumulative damage phenomenon. Some proposed cumulative damage rules are discussed with respect to the experimental results and general accepted features of the fatigue phenomenon. Some remarks are made on the life estimation of structures under service loading. Proposals for further investigation are made. (Author)
