Interacting Stress Concentration Factors And Their Effect On Fatigue Of Metallic Aerostructures, David Warren Whitley
Interacting Stress Concentration Factors And Their Effect On Fatigue Of Metallic Aerostructures, David Warren Whitley
Doctoral Dissertations
"During fabrication of certain aerostructure components, a situation can arise where a hole is mislocated so that it interferes with a radius, chem-mill step, machined step, or some other similar detail. The interaction of stress concentration effects between a hole and step are not well understood and the resulting impact on fatigue performance is difficult to predict. There exists a need for fatigue data that can be used to determine the analysis methods for evaluation of the interaction of machined steps and fastener holes. In this dissertation, the effect of stress concentrations placed in close proximity to each other and …
