Abstract

The paper deals with the experimental analysis of the influence of the rivet parameters upon the fatigue strength of aircraft structures.

Different riveted samples were tested on fatigue machine taking into account the diameter of the rivet and the forming pressure influence.

By superposing the resulting Wöhler curves on the same graphic, some interesting conclusions were pointed.
