A method for joining two aircraft structural parts by a bolted or riveted joint and for preventing cracks at said joint includes a step of providing a first metallic aircraft structural part and a second aircraft structural part, wherein the first aircraft structural part includes a first joint region and a second aircraft structural part includes a second joint region. Furthermore, the method includes a step of inducing compressive residual stresses in a first area of the first joint region for preventing cracks. Finally, the method includes a step of fastening together the first and second aircraft structural parts at the first and second joint regions by a bolted or riveted joint. An aircraft including first and second aircraft structural parts is also described.
