Stress Intensity Factors for Some Thru-Cracked Fastener Holes,

Abstract

A stress intensity factor solution is developed for a large plate containing radial hole cracks loaded with arbitrary crack face pressure. When the pressure is defined as the unflawed hoop stress surrounding a mechanical fastener, stress intensity factor calibrations are readily computed by the linear superposition principle. Results obtained in this manner agree well with previous solutions determined for open holes loaded in remote tension. The potential usefulness of the present analysis is further demonstrated with application to specific fastener configurations, including interference fit fasteners, pin-loaded plates, and cold-worked holes.
