✦ Synopsis


A new experimental

approach to determine Initial Fatigue Quality (IFQ) with fastener holes is presented. Theoretical analysis and experiments show the IFQs for each fastener hole on multi-pin joints are in mutual independence during the life test. When small cracks appear on the hole edges, the load distribution for each hole does not change significantly.

It is found that replacing traditional dog-bone specimens by specimens with multi-pin joints increases the efficiency more than 10 times.
