Fatigue lives of snap and countersunk riveted single lap joints with either one-row or two- rows of rivets have been predicted with fatigue laws using either local total strain range or effective stress obtained from finite element analyses and data obtained from fatigue testing of plates with holes. The finite element models of the joints were subjected to an alternating cyclic load; plasticity and nonlinear geometry are considered. The failures have also been metallurgically examined and gave evidence of fretting damage.

    It was found that all the data points lie within a narrow band using the strain-life law although the band is wider when using the effective stress-life law, but it is impossible to predict the fatigue life from one kind of specimen to another using the conventional stress-life law.
