Engineers employ shear connections - riveted and bolted butt and lap
joints - in a wide range of structures and machines. Ordinary stress
analyses of joints are unable to define the features that ultimately
govern fatigue and fretting and provide bases for design. Detailed
analyses have only become possible recently with advances in finite
element methods and computing capabilities. This text places into
context the results of over 150 detailed 2D and 3D finite element
analyses of aluminum and steel shear connections so that engineers can
optimize the design and reliability of shear joints.
