Hi all and thank you for your insightful comments.
It is clear that a design with e/D < 1.5 is far from optimal. Nevertheless, there are such instances due to e.g., oversized fasteners being installed during a repair on a joint which was already marginal. What I get from this discussion is that...
Hi all.
I am looking for some guidelines (or re-assurance) on how the bearing allowables are calculated in case of low edge distance\margin (e/D < 2).
[ol a]
is it common practice to extrapolate using the bearing values given for e/D = 1.5 and 2.0 for values of e/D < 1.5? MMPDS suggests...
Hi all!
I am doing some lug analyses per HSB26101-01. I have two versions available; the D of 1999 and the E of 2006. The former is using a correction factor that depends on the load angle, psi (eq 3-7), which was substituted on version E with a constant value (0.84). That is my understanding...
