Regarding the fatigue life of dimpled riveted joints, I know I have seen information somewhere long, long ago (in a state far away), that said it was worse than machine countersinking, but I can't find it or remember what I saw it in. I'm thinking old Douglas SRM's???
Anyway, we dimple every so often here for thin sheets that can't be countersunk, and I was wondering if anybody had any readily available information on the subject.
Does anybody else have info. or, preferably, a good reference on the subject?
Thanks!
