As a part of a collaboration program between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA. USA) and the Department of Civil Aviation (RLD, the Netherlands), the Dutch National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) has carried out fatigue tests on riveted lap joint specimens. The specimens are representative of the longitudinal lap joints of a commercial aircraft in which multiple-site damage (MSD) was found in service. Two different rivet configurations. dimpled and countersunk riveted joints, were investigated. The countersunk riveted specimens were bonded as well. Four different bonding qualities ranging from fully bonded to fully unbonded were tested. The results of the test program showed that the fatigue life until failure of the dimpled lap joint specimens was about one-quarter of that of the unbonded countersunk specimens. The bonding quality is a major parameter for the fatigue life. Fully or partly bonded specimens did not show fatigue cracking within 500 or even 1000 kilocycles. Specimens with a fully degraded bonding layer have slightly better fatigue properties compared to fully unbonded specimens.

Fatigue of the pressurized fuselages of transport aircraft is a significant problem all builders and users of aircraft have to cope with for reasons associated with assuring a sufficient lifetime and safety, and formulating adequate inspection procedures. These aspects are all addressed in various formal protocols for creating and maintaining airworthiness, including damage tolerance considerations. In most transport aircraft, fatigue occurs in lap joints, sometimes leading to circumstances that threaten safety in critical ways. The problem of fatigue of lap joints has been considerably enlarged by the goal of extending aircraft lifetimes. Fatigue of riveted lap joints between aluminium alloy sheets, typical of the pressurized aircraft fuselage, is the major topic of the present book. The richly illustrated and well-structured chapters treat subjects such as: structural design solutions and loading conditions for fuselage skin joints; relevance of laboratory test results for simple lap joint specimens to riveted joints in a real structure; effect of various production and design related variables on the riveted joint fatigue behaviour; analytical and experimental results on load transmission in mechanically fastened lap joints; theoretical and experimental analysis of secondary bending and its implications for riveted joint fatigue performance; nucleation and shape development of fatigue cracks in riveted longitudinal lap joints; overview of experimental investigations into the multi-site damage for full scale fuselage panels and riveted lap joint specimens; fatigue crack growth and fatigue life prediction methodology for riveted lap joints; residual strength predictions for riveted lap joints in a fuselage structure. The major issues of each chapter are recapitulated in the last section.
