CREEP- DEFORMATION PATTERNS OF JOINTS UNDER BEARING AND TENSILE LOADS

摘要

The objective of the present investigation was to study the inter-action of bearing and tensile loads on the creep behavior of joints. To achieve this objective, a simplified model was employed which con¬tained many of the features found in riveted connections. Through the use of this simulated joint, an analysis of complex regions in actual joints could be affected. In the study, results for a number of tensile-to-bearing load ratios were obtained, and the results were analyzed.
