Recent experimental work has shown that adhesively bonded inserts can significantly increase the fatigue life of fastener holes. This paper concentrates on developing an understanding of the mechanisms which give rise to the observed increase in life. Cracked as well as untracked fastener holes are
The stop-hole method is a simple and economic repair technique widely used to retard or even to stop the propagation of a fatigue crack in structural components that cannot be replaced immediately after the detection of the crack. Its principle is to drill a hole at or close to the crack tip to tran
