European research on fatigue of aluminium structures
conference paper
The paper is dealing with the results of a European resea.rch project within the framework of EUREKA on the fatigue behaviour of aluminium structures, focusing on welded, adhesive-bonded, and bolted joints. Since five foreign partners are presenting their input into the project, this paper will overview the project and will go into detail as far as the TNO input is concerned. At first the most important results of a literature study are reviewed covering design codes, S-N data and fracture mechanics data. On the basis of these results the parameters of the experimental and
theoretical study were chosen. In addition to S-N tests numerical simulations have been carried out based on fracture mechanics.
