U ~SLMARY

The purpose of this program was to evaluate the advantages of dynamically in-

stalled rivets in aircraft structures. This was accomplished primarily by testinga: large number of three-rivet specimens made of aluminum alloy 2024-T81 material

and riveted with the Grumman Stress Wave Riveter (SWR). To establish the suitability1'', + of riveting aircraft struActures with the SWR in accordance with recent danmge

tolerance criteria, each hole was precracked using constant amplitude loading. The

I i S.R method of riveting expands the rivet radially at high accelerations that

results in plastic deformation of the surrounding material. The process "cold works"

the material and leaves compressive residual stresses u.ound the rivet to prevent

crack growth wider loading.

Precracked specimens riveted with the SWR were fatigue tested under both spec-

trum and constant amplitude loadings. Spectrum tests were conducted using a reduced

F-14 wing fatigue spectrum which included both positive and negative loading

cycles, The greater part of the spectrum tests were conducted with a net stress at

limit load equal to 35 ksi (')41 MPa). Complete arrest of crack growth was evident

* +in all these tests. Such behavior was theoretically predicted by calculating the

stress intensity factor K.. Explicit equations for the residual stresses permitted

integration of the K1 equation. It was found that for the precrack sizes of 0.05 -

0.025 in. (1.27 - i.016 ms), the KI values were near zero, an indication of no

crack growth.

Other tests were carried out at constant amplitude loadings that supplied crack

growth characteristics of the specimens riveted with the SWR. CompArison of the

results was made with open hole and Hi-lok fastened specimens.

A limited evaluation performed to establish design values for static, fatigue,

and damage tolerent (precracked structure) allowablf stress levels indicated asignificant potential weight saving when allowable stresses for precracked holes

were based on SWR-riveted values.

The results obtained from this program indicate that the SWR can arrest cracksS i consistently, while simultaneously installing a relatively inexpensive rivet. It.

is recommended that consideration be given to the use of the SWR process in

meeting damage tolerance requirements for aircraft structures.

1 . INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

It has been known for some time that riveted joints of aircraft tructures are-

frequently critical points where structural cracking occurs. Various causes were

identified over the years that attributed early failures to both the itructural de-i[J sign (selection of materials und design allowables) and manufacturing methods. •

Many causes of structural failure are hidden, that is, not identifiable by ectab-S lished inspection procedures. For example, the buckling of the rivet inside the

hole can not be seen from the outside, although it can cause uneven load distribution {•

along the shank of the rivet. Other e~amples of hidden causes arn the ovality of

straight holes, and the lack of precision of the taper holes that could not be con-

trolled adequately through inspection. The viscous sealants used in squeezed riveting

methods also create serious problems when trapped hydrostatically between the rivet

and holes and then dry out, leaving voids that cause fuel leakages, stress corrosionI and galling.

The use of various types of intei.ference fit fastener systems in aircraft struc-

rural. applications has been extensive in recent years, and a variety of these fast-

eners are presently available to the industry. The advantaeges obtained by the use

of such fasteners lies principally !.n the area of fatigue design. Depending on the

type of fastener, the hole is either "propped" or "cold worked" or subjected to a

combination of these operations, and as a result, either or both the effective

alternating qtrd mean stresses in an applied fatigue loading cycle are reduced, with

a subsequent improvement in fatigue life.

In the structural design of aircraft joints, all "interference fasteners" do

not possess a common remedy for improving fatigue life, and considerable differences

exist among fastening systems that: a) volumetrically fill a hole; b) expand the

hole radially, resulting in tension hoop stress and compression radial stress, and

[ • c) expand the hole radially until the material yields plastically, but then surround

the rivet, through elastic recovery, with compressive residual stresses in both the

[ ! hoop and radial directions. The most beneficial effects are those of (c). To dis-

tinguish these effects from others, the words "cold working" the hole were given to

LI any method that left each hole with residual compressive stresses.

One system that requires nonprecision holes, utilizes inexpensive rivets, and

[ -7 cold works the holes, leaving compressive residual stresses behind it, is the Stress

Wave Riveter (SWR) (see Fig. 1). The capacitor bank at left supplies the electrical

energy that is converted to a stress wave in the tool. The black control box sitting

on the capacitor bank ensures that each pulse delivered is within specifications

for the particular fastener being upset. The rivets in this case are bucked at the

tail, the countersunk head being supported by a specially designed bucking bar.

The SWR has been used in the Grumman F- 1 4 since 1970, installing straight pins with

interference in the wing box beam, and also repairing rivets in the titanium wing

Sstructures. It was investigated by the USAF in 1972 (Ref. 1) where in fatigue

rating of precracked specimens it was found to possess clear process advantages* IAover other fastening systems.'

3 • The SWR's principle of operation was analyzed both theoretically and experi- L-mentally (Ref 2). Explicit equations to calculate the biaxial (radial and hoop)

residual stresses were deiived (Ref 3) for SWR-installed rivets that can easily pro-

vide the necessary information in riveting applications (see Appendix A). The re-

sults of a typical case are shown in Figs. 2 through 8 for 2024-T3 aluminum. Analyt-

ical results were checked with the Moire' fringe method (see Ref. 4 and Fig. 8).

Furthermore, results of fatigue testing of aluminum specimens with radial cracks,

* riveted with the SWR, showed that cracks of 0.05 in. (1.25 mm) or less, did not grow

during spectrum fatigue. Other authors (Ref. 5) have also shown the advantages of

cold working the hole, especially the improvement of fatigue life where cracks are

present. The SWR method combines: a) the fatigue advantages of cold working

the hole, b) the cost advantages in the use of ordinary rivets instead of the

more expensive precision fasteners, c) the manufacturing advantages of non- *1

precision holes and "forgiveness" in the shop whenever oval or nonaligned

holes pass inspection undetected, and d) the advantage of relaxed inspectionprocedures. , I

*The SWR-driven rivet expands radially with high velocity, cold working the material

around it as it deforms to the shape of the hole. There is no need to cold work thehole and then install a fastener; instead, all the effort is combined in one opera-tion with the SWR.

Single sheet plain open-hole and 1000 countersunk open-hole dog-bone shaped

fatigue specimens of the general configuration shown in Fig. 9 were prepared. A

number of the plain open-hole specimens were provided with fatigue generated pre-

cracks at the test hole edges.

Filled-hole specimens, consisting of two sheets (i.e., a "head" and "tail"

sheet) joined together at mid-section with a single fastener, or with multiple

fasteners, were prepared. In addition, single sheet filled-hole specimens with

* • back-up washers were also prepared. Specimens of each type were provided with

I ] fatigue generated precracks at the fastener hole edges while others were left un-

cracked. Furthermore, individual two-piece laminated specimens were provided with

precracks in either the "head" or the "tail" sheet, or in both sheets.

The specimens containing a single fastener had a constant radius reduced test

* section as shown in Fig. 10. The multifastened specimens were dog-bone shaped as

shown in Fig. 11 and 12.

Two countersunk fastener types were used, the subject GR501W A-286 steel rivets

and, to provide baseline data, clearance fit GB51OB3-4 steel Hiloks. The A-286

rivets (3/16 in. diameter) were dynamically installed using the Stress Wave Riveter

(SWR). A predetermined interference fit of 0.005-0.006 in. (127-152 imn) was used.Final hole preparation in these specimens was such that a sliding fit existed

between rivet and hole prior to the riveting operation. The Hilok installations

were made in accordance with the Manufacturer's installation procedures.!I

The spectrum fatigue loading was applied using a servo-hydraulic system con- itrolled by a preprogrammed, electronic, load feedback system utilizing a precali-

brated load cell and a punched paper tape sequencer. A constant force fatigue A

machine equipped with a 5:1 load multiplier and automatic preload control unit was 1used for most of the constant amplitude fatigue work. The servo-hydraulic system

described above was also used. The static loading was applied with a universal

testing machine equipped with an autographic load-strain recorder and a precali-

brated load indicator.

Sheets to be precracked were initially provided with 0.00 in. (2.54 mm)

diameter pilot holes located at the positions of final fastener installation. One

edge of each pilot hole was notched with a sharp edged tool to facilitate crack

initiation. Crack initiation was then accomplished in a direction normal to the

load application using an applied cylic net stress of 20 ksi (138 MPa), R = +0.05. U l

The cracks were then extended to the desired length using a net stress of 15

(103 MPa), R - +0.05. The precracked holes were then opened up to a nominal 0.189

in. (4.8 mm) diameter leaving a through-the-thickness crack measuring from 0.025

to 0.040 in. (635-1016 mm) from the hole edge. Extended crack lengths measuring up

to 0.080 in, (2.03 mm) from the hole edge were also provided, In most cases, J15,000 cycles at 20 ksi (138 MPa) were required to initiate the crEcks at all

three hole locations. An additional 30,000 cycles at 15 ksi (103 MPa) were Jthen required to extend the cracks to the desired lengths. For specimens with

three precracked holes having one crack growing more rapidly than the others,

a clamp was applied to the region of the faster growing crack to retard its

crack propagation rate, and thus ensure that all three precracks had nearly

uniform lengths.3

Constant amplitude tests were carried out in the second series. Crack propaga- Ltion rates were observed closely for comparison between precracked specimens riveted

with the SWR and precracked specimens riveted with Hi-loks or with open holes. In ]t addition, specimens with a single precracked hole and a single sheet were tested for

comparison with the standard three-hole, two-sheet specimens. The test matrix for Ithese tests is presented in Table 2. -+

Additional specimens were tested with both sheets cracked, or either the rivet

head sheet or the rivet tail sheet cracked, to find any effects in fatigue life at-

tributable to the geometry of the specimens. None was found. Finally, tests

were carried out with a three-hole single-sheet configuration, with a washer attached L Ito each hole and riveted with the SWR to eliminate the carry through load of the

second sheet during loading, while maintaining the local effects of the second

sheet. An engineering analysis of the crack propagation results is given in Section

6. The KI values are estimated from the constant amplitude load fatigue curves

and compared with the KT values derived theoretically in Section 5. Furthermore,

a simulated F-14 lower wing cover is analyzed with damaged tolerance criteria.

The results are tabulated (Table 6) showing the weight penalcies with several

fastener methods, including the SWR method evaluated in this program. In Section

7, the results of the program are summarized and briefly discussed.

4. FATIGUE TESTING

SPECIMO-N TESTING

Specimens were examined prior to testing to establish hole surface finish and

pre-crack length but standard inspection techniques were generally found to 'e un-

satisfactory due to the small size of the hole.k 4

The initial crack length was therefore measured visually with the specimen

under load, prior to the rivet installation. A sampling of specimens was also

subjected to post-failure metallurgical examination to establish initisl crack

lengths. After testing, a sawcut was made along the crack axis from left to

right, up to the end of the vertical tool marks. The specimen was then pulled toV k -failure in a'tensile test unit, failing at the zone of random fine structure in the

center of the picture. The vertical band at the edge of the hole is the crack placedin the specimen before fatigue testing. An example is provided by Fig. 13 which [

shows a sectional view of a pre-cracked specimen broken statically after spectrum

R fatigue testing for 24000 equivalent flight hours without failure. The initial crack

length was 0.04 in. (1.01 mm) in this case.

Figure 14 shows a pre-cracked specimen that was tested to failure in spectrum

fatigue. This specimen failed at 26000 equivalent, flight hours at a net limit load Listress of 40 ksi, with a pre-crack length of 0.07 in. (1.77 mm). Subsequent crack

growth from the initial pre-crack shown in Fig. 14 is typical of these test speci-

mens.

Figures 15 and 16 show the test setup and visual crack growth monitoring using Ja telescope. Specimens were prevented from buckling by the use of a stabilization

frame. All tests were conducted in a laboratory air environment, J

Rivet installation with the SWR was performed using the latest manufacturing~ I

standards. The holes were drilled with a tolerance of 0.0015 in. (0.0381 mm).•.|

Such tolerances are accepted routinely in aircraft manufacturing at Gruman, since

drilling is accomplished with automated machines. The rivets were first installed

with a snug fit, prior to riveting. Then they were upset using the SWR (SWR setting

of 7.5 kv which produces 0.006 in. (0.152 mm) radial displacement). In practice, =

this procedure prevents gaps under the prefabricated head and provides more uniform

cold working of the hole. Furthermore, a slightly domed rivet-set was used in the

bucking bar side to expand the prefabricated rivet head. This technique is espe-

cially beneficial with GR5OIW rivets which are made with a slightly domed head. A, I flat set was used in the SWR tool side (rivet tail.).

Thd SWR method of riveting is capable of accepting considerable variation in

hole tolerances ("forgiveness") as was discussed earlier. In this program, how-

ever, the purpose was to establish its capabilities under existing manufacturing

procedures.

IF-5. DESCRIPTION OF K CALCULATION METHOD

I

INTRODUCTION

Whenever a crack appears in a stress field, there is a redistribution of

stress near the crack tip that permits the transmission of the remotely applied

force through the tip region (Ref 6). The remotely applied forces affect only

the intensity of the stresses near the tip, but not their distribution. The stress

intensity factor KI, therefore, represents the amplitude, or coefficient, of the

equation of the stress distribution near the crack tip. The stress intensity fac-

tor can also be seen as a limiting case of the stress concentration factor, Kt, for

I an elliptical hole.

k =The need to know the stress intensity factor (KI) in predicting the fatigue

life of structural components is well known. With the extensive use of residual

I stresses in riveted Joints, new methods are required to calculate the stress in- Ltensity factors which relate the crack length, remote loading, local loading, ana

I structural geometry.

Grandt (Ref 7) and Impellizzeri (Ref 8) used the method of linear superposi-

tion to relate local and remote loadings. Both used a weight function similar to .

the one developed by Bueckner (Ref 9) for evaluation of the integral that gives the

values of KI. In addition, both used a series expansion to relate the edge crack jequation to a single crack emanating radially from a rivet hole. Finally, bothused numerical integration to evaluate the KI integral.

1

In the evaluation of stress intensity factors of holes with cracks, and resid-

ual stresses due to SWR-driven rivets, we used the Bueckner function, the explicit jlequations for residual hoop stress distribution given in Appendix A, and a func-

tions *i suggested by Impellizzeri, which corrects for the hole and edge distance

geometry in each application.

1 CALCULATIONS

The compressive residual stress distributions for 0.006 in. (0-152 mm) radial

displacement were calculated for 3/iu in. (4.82 mm) holes and 2024-T81 material.

The results are given in Figs. 17, 18 and 19. The dimensionless radius is the ra-/R) radial daisance

tioofhole radius ' ( The significance in the plots is that the bi-

.i, ,. axial compressive field (cold work) extends up to R /R - 2.4 (see Fig. 19). This isdependent on the radial displacement which, in this program, was maintained constant

at 0.006 in. (0.152 mm).*

The KI's were calculated from Eqs. (2) and (12) using a computer. The resultsIIare shown in Figs. 20, 21 and 22. In each figure there are two plot lines: the

upper graph corresponds to the KI without residual stresses, a•d the lower corres- A

ponds to the K with residual stresses. Considerable reduction in the K valueI

of the residual stress case is shown in Figs. 20 and 21.

*In this program the radial displacement vas chosen first before the fatigue

evaluation of the specimens. In design analysis the fatigue requirements will

determine the radial displacement. Further discussion on this approach is given

in Section 6.

CONSTANT AMPLITUDE TESTS

A group of twenty-five specimens were subjected to constant amplitude fatigue

; loading, in order to obtain some basic data on the growth of cracks at holes con-j taining rivets driven with the Stress Wave Riveter (SWR). All of these specimens

were made of 2024-T81 aluminum sheet, having a test section 1.50 in. (38.1 mm) wide,-A 1/8 in. (3.18 mm) thick, with central 3/16 in. (4.83 mm) fastener holes. Some speci-

mens had single fastener holes in the test section (see Fig. iO), and others had

three in-line fastener holes in the test section (see Fig. ii). Four of the speci-

mens were tested without initial cracks, with the remainder having through-the-

thickness radial precracks at each fastener hole. The initial crack lengths ranged

from 0.020 in. (0.51 mm) to 0.040 in. (1.02 mm). All of the tests were run at a

maximum gross stress of 30.6 ksi (211 MPa), and a stress ratio (R) of +0.05 in a lab-oratory air environment. The results of all the constant amplitude fatigue tests are

summarized in Table 3.

A control group of three specimens having precracked open holes were tested and

I j found to have an average life of 3130 cycles. Next, fifteen specimens having p.'e-

cracked holes containing SWR-driven rivets were tested, and the fatigue crack propa-

gation life increased to values ranging from 77,000 to 200,000 cycles, a factor of

Li between 25 and 65. The average increase in life for all the precracked SWR speci-mens is a factor of 45.

Most of the test articles containing SWR-driven rivets consisted of two 1,8 in.

(3.18 mm) sheets fastened together. There was no significant difference in life be-

tween specimens having single fasteners in the test section and those having three

in-line fasteners. Specimens were tested in the following three categories: precracks

II in head sheet only; precracks in the tail sheet only; and precracks In both head andtail sheets. No significant difference in life was observed between these configura-

[I tions. The SWR installation method effectively retards crack growth in both the head

and tail sheets. However, when both sheets were precracked, failure always occurred

In the head sheet.

A group of three specimens, consisting of single sheets with precracked holes

d"I LI containing SWR-driven rivets backed up with washers, were tested. This group had 1an average crack growth life of 94,070 cycles, about 60% of the average life of the

I i double sheet specimens. The reason for this is not clear. It was initially con-

sidered that in the double sheet configuration, load transfer from the cracked to

unrracked sheets could possibly extend its life. However, when both head and tail

sheets were precracked, the resulting life was nearly identical to the case where

only one of the two sheets was precracked. The double sheet specimens, having only

j L one of the sheets precracked, did exhibit longer critical crack lengths than the

single sheet specimens, indicating that some unloading of the cracked sheet at the

large crack lengths (greater than 0.20 in. or 5.1 mm) occurred. However, the crack

propagation life at large cracks lengths is very short, and therefore, insignificant.

SComparison of the uncracked fatigue life (12,000 cycles, Ref. 3, Fig. 20)

for the open hole configuration with the uncracked fatigue life for specimens

with SWR fasteners, which averages 223,500 cycles (see Table 3), inditcates a

factor of 19 increase in life for the SWR.

Crack propagation analysis was performed for the open hole specimens , and is pre-sented in Fig. 23 along with test data for three specimens. The agreement between

analysis and test here is excellent Next, crack length versus cycles test data for

single and double sheet specimens with SWR-driven rivets is presented ii Figs. 211 and

25, respectively. By comparing the test data with the open hole crack propagation anal-F ' ysis, it is seen that the crack propagation life is increased on the average by fac-

tors of 30 times for single sheet specimens, to 50 times for double she-t specimei,s

by the installation of rivets with the SWR. In additien, test data for specimens

with clearance fit Hi-Loks are also shown in Fig. 25, and it Is observed that they

increase the specimen life over the opern hole configuration by a factor of about two. A

A crack propagation analysis of a cracked hole having an SWR-driven rivet was

attempted, utilizing the stress intensity solution developed in Section 5. However,

the solution (see Fig. 21) indicates that under an applied gross maximum stress of :130.6 ksi (35.0 ksi, net), the stress intensity is reduced to a level below the threshold 14-

stress intensity (w3.0 ksi 1 .). Hence, no crack growth should occur. Since craok

growth did occur, it was decided to backfigure the stress intensity from the fatigue L Icrack propagation rates, ia the same manner as Anderson and James (Ref. ii) and Grant

and Hinnericks (Ref. 5). The result of this analysis is presented in Fig. 26, where

it is noted that the general trends exhibited by the theoretical analysis are found,

but that the slope of the test-data-derived stress intensity as a function of

crack length is different. The methods yield K's that are significantly different

across the range of crack lengths considered with the backfigured results being

the more credible. The theoretical analysis attempted here will require further

development as discussed later in this report.

The installation of rivets with the SWR produces a residual stress field that Uretards the crack propagation rate at large distances from the hole. For example,

the retarded growth extends out to a distance greater than three radii, as can be

seen by examining Fig. 26. Previous studies with coldworked holes (Refs. 5 and 10)

indicate that the retarding effect on crack propagation disappears at a crack length

to radius ratio (C/R) of about two. The importance of this effect is that the SWR

should be able to retard the crack propagation rates with longer initial crack Lilengths, than can be done by other fastener hole treatments.

SPECTRUM TESTS

A series of tests were performed under fatigue spectrum loading. The test ar-

ticles are identical to the previously described constant amplitude specimens, ex- V1cept that they are 2.0 in. (50.8 mm) wide instead of 1.5 in. (38.1 mm). The applied

fatigue spectrum is a block fighter wing spectrum obtained from Ref. 12, where each

block represents 100 flight hours with loads arranged in a low-high-low sequence.The spectrum is presented in Table 4. Fifty-three specimens were tested, and a sum-

mary of these test results is presented in Table 5.

A crack propagation analysis was made for a cracked open hole under fatigue

spectrum loading at a gross limit stress of 31.68 ksi (218.3 MPa), which in this case

is equivalent to a net limit stress of 35.0 ksi (241 MPa). The analysis is presented

along with test data in Fig. 27, where good correlation is shown. For an initial@Lcrack length.(Co) of 0.035 in. (0.89 mm), the analysis is conservative by about 15%.

The Grumman crack closure model, as described in Ref. 13, was used to make the crack

propagation prediction shown in Fig. 27, and all subsequent predictions. Analytical

predictions and test data for cracked open hole specimens over a range of applied

limit stresses are presented in Fig. 28, where it is noted that the analysis is ac-

curate for test data shown. Also shown are test data and predictions for open hole 5A36

LIspecimens that are not precracked. These predictions are made with cumulative dam-

age calculations bascd on strain-cycling. Again, good correlation is exhibited.

Fifteen double sheet test articles (Fig. ii) were prepared with stress wave

: 1 1- rivets placed in each hole, and with each hole precracked prior to the installation

of the rivets. The precracks were located in the head sheets, and were through-the-

SVthickness radial cracks having initial lengths ranging from 0.020 to 0.045 in. All

fifteen specimens were tested to 24,000 equivalent flight hours at 31.70 ksi (218.3

MPa) gross limit stress, and no crack growth was detected. Since the fasteners were

LK countersunk, there could have been some crack growth under the rivet head, but the

crack length could not have exceeded 0.060 in., since no cracks were observed on the

specimen surface. However, four of the specimens were failed statically after com-

= ipletion of the fatigue spectrum cycling. Examination of these specimens subsequent

i to failure revealed no measureable crack growth during the 24,000 equivalent flight

hours of cycling.

An additional three precracked specimens containing rivets driven with the SWR

were tested at a gross limit stress of 39.30 ksi (270.8 MPa). Two of the specimens

achieved 60,000 hours of fatigue spectrum loads with no cracks detected on the sur-

'face, and the tests were terminated. A third specimen failed at 67,100 equivaleint

failed at about 3,000 hours (see Fig. 28), making the increase in life due to the SWR Iinstallation a factor of at least 20,

J--• Three test articles were prepared with initial crack sizes of 0.070 in. (1.78 _

mm) to 0.080 in. (2.03 mm), and were tested under fatigue spectrum loading at 30.57r 8ksi (210.6 MPa) gross limit stress. These specimens were run to failure. The crack

length versus time test data are presented in Fig. 29. Here the life from a 0.080

in. (2.03 mm) initial crack to failure is between 24,000 and 28,000 hours. This is 4

somewhat reasonable, as the total stress intensity at a 0.080 in. (2.03 mm) crack

length is about twice what it was at 0.035 in (0.89 mm), and therefore considerably

more damage will be done by the spectrum loads. These results indicate that an ini- jtal crack of 0.080 in. (2.03 zmm) or less could survive for 24,000 flight hours

at a gross limit stress or 31.70 ksi (218.2 vPa), and that a 0.050 in. (1.27 mm)

initial crack could survive even longer with SWRs installed.

Specimens were tested with clearance fit Hi-Lok fasteners, in order to show

i f a comparison of the SWR fasteners with a conventional fastener. Test data at

two limit stress levels, 31.68 ksi (218.3 MPa) and 39.30 ksi (270.8 MPa), are

U presented in Figs. 30 and 31, respectively. Three Hi-Lok specimens were

tested without fastener clamp-up. The detrimental effect of lost clamp-up

is illustrated in Fig. 30. Clamp-up is not generally considered to be areliable life enhancement technique for threaded fasteners of this size and type

so the unclamped values would likely be used in design. However, against

1 either the clamped or unclamped data the SWRs have an apparent advantage for

fatigue or damage tolorant design.

J All of the precracked specimen test data are shown in Fig. 32 in order to com-

pare them with each other and with open hole fatigue life predictions. The no

clamp-up Hi-Lok data fall between the crack propagation life predictions for

initial crack lengths (C ) of 0.05 in. (1.27 mm) and 0.005 in. (0.127 mm). The0average initi.l crack length for this group of specimens is 0.038 in. •0.965 mm).

Test data for Hi-Lok specimens with proper clamp-up tend to lie along the analy-tical curve for specimens with no precracks. The SWR specimens with initial

crack lengths less than 0.045 in. (1.143 zmm) are shown in the figure,

[ but are again inconclusive, as they are not tested to failure. One

exception is the specimen plotted at a gross limit stress of 38.80 ksi(267.3 MPa) and a life of 67,100 hours. This data point looks considerably superior

to both the Hi-Lok and open hole data. Finally, the specimens with SWR-installedL rivets with large initial crack lengths (CO > 0.065 in. or CO > 1.651 mm) are shown,

*1 "- and it is observed that they are equal to or better than the Hi-Lok specimens withinitial cracks less than 0.045 in, (1.143 mm).

I Since the test data presented in Fig 32 does not accurately present the differ-ences between specimens having large and small initial crack lengths, the data was

- replotted using the product of the gross limit stress (SLIM) and the squvre root of

the initial crack length times w, or, SLIMVW7. The result is shown in Fig. 33,

where it is now observed that the SWR data and the Hi-Lok data are separated. Av-erage lines are drawn through these groups of data, and it is noted that for a con-

stant initial crack length and limit stress, the SWR data show about seven times the

life of the Hi-Lok data. On this basis, the SWR-installed fasteners are clearly

for the SWR curve in Fig. 33, some of the SWR specimens tested to only 24,000 hours

STRESS INTENSITY OF JOINTS RIVETED WITH THE STRESS WAVE RIVETER

The stress intensity calculated for the problem posed here, and previously de-

scribed in Section 5, does not show agreement with the stress intensity derived from

test data using the Anderson and James procedure (Ref 10). The differences could be

attributed to the following:

(1) Theoretical stress intensity solutions employing linear superposition,

such ae performed here and elsewhere (Refs. 7, 14), elastically combine theI-i L]residual stress field due to plastic straining (cold working) and the re-motely applied stress field. These solutions usually predict complete crack

LI arrestment for small crack length. However, experiments here and else-where (Refs. 10, 14) show crack growth for small crack lengths, indicating

that apparently a relaxation of the residual compressive stress near thehole circumference takes place, permitting crack growth to occur. In the

LI case of non-precracked test articles, crack initiation and crack propagation

I at small crack lengths takes place similarly.

(2) Residual stresses are calculated for the uncracked configuration, when for

Smost of the specimens, the residual stresses due to the installation of the

stress wave driven rivet are introduced into the cracked configuration.

LI The present effort to predict stress intensity by SWR-produced residual stresses

and remotely applied loads is considered an initial attempt and not suitable

for design use in its present form. Further effort along these lines will be

expanded in the future.

EFFECT OF STRESS WAVE DRIVEN RIVETS ON FIGHTER WING LOWER COVER ALLOWABLE STRESSES

An investigation into the effect of the SWR fasteners on the allowable stresses

on a fighter wing lower cover was made, ubing the fatigue spectrum used in the

present SWR study. The structure is assumed to be the riveted sheet and stringer

structure shown in Fig. 34, and is made of 2024-T851 aluminum. Design life is

assumed to be 12,000 hours, and a scatter factor of two is required. The allowable iistresses are presented in Table 6 for a variety of conditions. First, a static al-

lowable limit stress of 37.0 ksi (255 MPa) (limit) is established. Next, a fatigue Ir1

allowable of 28 ksi (220 MPa) is determined for an effective stress concentration

.factor of 3.0, i.e., for an uncracked structure. This would be representative of

either open holes or a conventional fastener system, and results in a loss of about

14 percent in allowable stress and 11 percent increase in structural weight local-

ly. Here it is assumed that the structural weight changes by 80 percent of the a)-

lowable stress change. Use of SWR driven fasteners can increase the fatigue life at'

the fastener holes sufficiently to raise the allowable stress above the 37.0 ksi

LIMI• ~static value (see Fig. 32 and consider SWR specimens with SLI = 39.30 ksi).

Considering a damage tolerant design such as is currently required by the Air

Force, and following the slow-crack-growth structure tenets of MIL-A-83444 (Ref. 15),

the designer must assume that the structure is initially cracked, and that critical *1! , holes have an initial crack length of 0.050 in. (1.27 mm). For a structure thicker

than 0.050 in. (1.27 mm), a radial circular corner crack at the hole circumference

must be assumed. For open holes or holes with conventional fasteners, and plates Ithicker than 0.17 in. (4.32 mm), the allowable stress is 23.0 ksi (158 M]Pa) based

on crack propagation life from the initial crack size of 0.050 in. (1.27 mm) to the jcritical crack size where failure occurs. If SWR fasteners are introduced, the

allowable stress will be increased to above 40.7 ksi (280 MPa), and the static a]-lowable stress will govern (see Table 6).

According to specification MIL-A-83444, the use of fatigue enhancing fastener

systems such as cold worked holes, interference fits, stress wave driven rivets, etc.,

requires that an element test program be performed to demonstrate the increased

structural life. In addition, the allowable stresses to be used for design must be

based on a crack propagation analysis for a crack from the holes in question, as- usuming a conventional fastener system is installed. However, an initial crack size

of 0.005 in. (0.127 mm) is permitted for this analysis. If the analytically deter-

mined allowable limit stress is smaller than the test data indicates, the analytical

Inumber must nevertheless be used for design purposes. Therefore, these numbers are

also presented in Table 6, and it is noted that their allowable stresses are con-

siderably lower than those demonstrated by test data for the SWR system. For ex-U ample, consider the case in Table 6 with the corner crack at a hole with SWR-driven

rivets. Here, the MIL-A-83444 required analysis provides 28.0 ksi (192 MPa)

allowable limit stress for a plate thickness of 0.23 in., whereas the test data

LI generated indicate an allowable stress greater than 40 ksi (.275.6 MPa).

Specification MIL-A-830)4 also requires that cracks in the structure away from

rholes must also be considt-d. ,i'r standard non-destructive inspection (NDI) pro-

cedures, a semi-circular inisiil surface crack having a surface length of 0.25 in.

(6.35 mm) must br assumred to be present, and the limit allowable stress for this

crack will be 20.0 ksi (137 MPa), far less than the static allowable stress. This

stress can be increased by reducing the initial crack length to 0.10 in. (2.54 mm)

and introducing an NDI demonstration program to establish that the NDI procedures canIi • find the smaller cracks with sufficient reliability. This approach has been imple--. mented in the F-16 program. Using a 0.10 inch initial surface crack length (2C ) in-

0creases the allowable stress to 35.0 ksi (241 MPa), and this value will now govern

the design. The resulting weight increase is less than 5% over a static design.

The table shows a maximum weight penalty of 37% for a structure with conventional

clearance-fit fasteners designed to damage tolerant criteria. Using a stress

wave driven rivet fastener system and following the procedures of specification

MIL-A-83444 at holes and improved NDI away from holes, the weight penalty is

reduced to 19.5%. Furthermore, by using a statistical sample of test data

i for the SWR fastener treated holes having 0.05 in. (1.27 mm) initial cracks

rather than the analytical procedure required by MIL-A-83444, the weightpenalty can be reduced to 4.3%. It should also be noted that straight and

tapered shank interference fit fastener systems in precracked structures havenot been included in the present program.

7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMNDATIONS

The major conclusion of this study is that the installation of stress wave

driven rivets is extremely effective in retarding the propagation of cracks from "

holes. For the case considered, 2024-T81 alumiinum specimens subjected to typical

f' ighter wing fatigue spectra and a typical gross limit stress (31.70 ksi or 218.3

"MPa) , precracked holes were shown experimentally to experience no detectable crack

growth during 24,000 equivalent flight hours of spectrum loading. The specimens

tested had precracks ranging from 0.020 to 0.045 inches in length, and had A-2186

steel stress wave driven rivets installed with 0.006 inch (0.15 mm) radial displace-

ment. There were enough specimens tested under these conditions to provide a valid

statisticRl sample, indicating that this result could be applied to a similar design H .-

situation provided that there are no damaging environmental factors present. The L -5-_

crack propagation rates were reduced to the extent that the cracks could be considered

[ to be arrested. .. ;

A few specimens identical with the previous group, were tested at a higher gross

limit stress (39.30 ksi or 270.8 MPa), and here crack growth retardation from the

stress wave driven rivets was sufficient to provide lives in excess of 60,000 equiva-

lent flight hours. This was not a statistical sample but indicates a good potential Lfor application at this stress level. In addition, a few specimens were tested at a

gross limit stress of 31.70 ksi (218.3 MPa) but with initial cracks about 0.080 inches

(1.78 mm) in length, and here significant crack growth retardation was also exhibited.

Lives for this group of specimens averaged about 26,000 equivalent flight hours. It jshould be noted that for all these cases, the stress wave induced radial displacementwas limited to 0.06 in (0.15 nun). A higher radial displucement (say O.01." "'1. Or

0.30 mm) would have provided higher residual stresses and Increased crack growth

retardation. The increase in radial displacement will "cold work" the plate material

to greater radial distances from the rivet, providing crack growth retardation for

initial crack lengths.

Results obtained during the present program indicate that significant weight

to NADC-T1202-3CIicould easily be incorporated in a Drivematic type riveting machine and used at

normal production rates.

Other important recommendations are:

Li *Partial load transfer specimens riveted with the SWR, should be testedin addition to the zeo load transfer specimens evaluated to date.

LI • Specimens riveted with the SWR should also be tested in controlled

corrosive environments to establish whether there is any degradation

of the residual stresses.

* Specimens of various thickness and materials should be tested to

establish SWR settings before automated applications are made.

• Additional spectrum testing should be performed using load

spectra with higher levels of compression loading.

o Higher levels of radial displacement (cold work) and wider

L variations in hole tolerance should be investigated.*] The repeatability and consistency of tile SWR process in a pr'o-

duction environment should be examined.
