Potter, J M

The present conference considers advanced fastener technology for composite and metallic joints, a fatigue life-enhancing and high interference bushing installation employing the 'ForceMate' technique, fatigue life improvement by cold working fastener holes in 7050 aluminum alloy, the fatigue strength of bolted and adhesively bonded structural steel joints, and the effect of load transfer on the fatigue of mechanically fastened metallic joints. Also discussed are the evaluation of a stochastic initial fatigue quality model for fastener holes, the experimental characterization of cracks at open holes and in rounded-end straight attachment lugs, the fatigue of riveted metallic joints, an enhanced stop-drill repair procedure for cracked structures, the influence of fastener flexibility on load transfer and fatigue life prediction in multiple row joints, the strength and lifetime of bolted laminates, and the fatigue of bolted continuous-fiber/sheet-molding-compound composite-metal joints.
