The performance of stress wave driven rivet installations is evaluated in terms of crack growth arresting capability, using precracked specimens subjected to constant amplitude and spectrum fatigue loading. Rivets installed in pre-cracked holes using the Grumman Stress Wave Riveter (SWR) are shown to be effective in arresting crack growth. Residual stresses resulting from rivet coldwork are determined and the effective stress intensity factor K sub I is calculated. It is concluded that stress wave rivet installations offer significant potential weight saving for structures designed to a damage tolerant criteria. (Author)
