Abstract

A series of experimental investigations concerning the residual stress fields at cold‐expanded fastener holes and of the behavior of fatigue cracks at such holes has been conducted. These studies have included measurement of the initial, cold‐work‐induced residual stress fields at both uncracked and cracked holes and the performance of both constant amplitude and spectrum fatigue crack growth tests.
