A Preliminary Study of Machine-Countersunk Flush Rivets Subjected to a Combined Static and Alternating Shear Load
Description:
Report discusses the results of an investigation to study the effect of the height of a rivet head on the number of cycles required to cause failure of a machine-countersunk flush-riveted joint under a combined static and alternating shear load. A tight joint and a loose joint were tested and the number of cycles to failure and location of fatigue failure were compared.
