Abstract
A considerable amount of earlier investigatio n of the characteristics of structural joints assembled with high tensile bolts were focused on the possibility of slip in the range of currently used design stresses. Other tests clarified the behavior of such joints under fatigue loads.
Some questions about the possible effects of various fabricating processes still were open; some others arose as new techniques and ideas developed both in methods of tightening the fasteners and in design principles. The question of the efficiency of joints being influenced by such factors as punching of the holes, misalignments, and the paint on the faying surfaces has been left for the pre sent investigations.
The high practical value found in the one-turn-of-the-nut method drew the attention to its possible effects on the behavior of joints. This was especially so in the case of large and long joints, in which the gradual development of slip required more insight into the behavior of such joints.
