Previous thread thread2-441923 is now closed, leaving me unable to add to it.
With regard to some of the later discussion, I have found some great articles which people may find interesting:
Fatigue behaviour of double lap riveted joints assembled with and without interfay sealant
Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures 34(1):60 - 71 · June 2010
Analysis of the Effects of Interference and Sealant on Riveted Lap Joints
Journal of Aircraft 44(2):353-364 · March 2007
Analysis of the Effects of Thin Sealant Layers in Aircraft Structural Joints
AIAA Journal 41(11) · November 2003
Effects of thin adhesive layer and riveted-pitch distance on the stress concentration factor of riveted lap joints
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology 29(4):1069-1092 July 2007
Thanks.
