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.
