Structural Shear Joints: Analysis, Properties and Design for Repeated Loading (Woodhead Publishing Series in Metals and Surface Engineering)
( Engineers employ shear connections - riveted and bolted...)
Engineers employ shear connections - riveted and bolted butt and lap joints - in a wide range of structures and machines. Ordinary stress analyses of joints are unable to define the features that ultimately govern fatigue and fretting and provide bases for design. Detailed analyses have only become possible recently with advances in finite element methods and computing capabilities. This text places into context the results of over 150 detailed 2D and 3D finite element analyses of aluminum and steel shear connections so that engineers can optimize the design and reliability of shear joints.

Structural Shear Joints: Analyses, Properties And Design for Repeat Loading
(This book describes the mechanical response of butt, lap ...)
This book describes the mechanical response of butt, lap and doubler joints. The findings apply to shear connections in civil, aerospace, and other mechanical structures subjected to repeated loading. The findings are intended for engineers and NDE practitioners concerned with the design of new, as well as inspection and maintenance of existing, shear joints.Fatigue strengths of the joints are derived using conventional, material S-N data and the joint stress concentration factor. The role of fretting wear is also discussed.The estimates of joint fatigue strength are compared with a selection of fatigue strength measurements for aluminum and steel joints. In many cases, the method offers valid estimates and preliminary designs of joints meeting given fatigue strength requirements. The book incorporates the results of over 150 recent and detailed, 2D and 3D finite element analyses of aluminum and steel connections. It includes handbook-type summaries of the results of the finite element calculations, as well as modeling details.The book addresses riveted and bolted joints, aluminum connections for airframes and automotive bodies, and steel connections for machines and bridges. It is a unique reference for instructors and students in advanced design courses.
