AFWAL_TR-81-3041 (VOLUME 1 OF 2), EFFECT OF VARIANCES AND MANUFACTURING TOLERANCES ON THE DESIGN STRENGTH AND LIFE OF MECHANICALLY FASTENED COMPOSITE JOINTS: METHODOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND DATA EVALUATION (APR-1981)., The subject of this program was structural evaluation of mechanically fastened composite Joints. Program objectives were threefold: (1) develop- ment and verification by test of improved static strength methodology, (2) experimental evaluation of the effects of manufacturing anomalies on joint static strength, and (3) experimental evaluation of joint fatigue life.
