The riveted single strap butt joints are mainly used in the load-bearing components of the aircraft such as the fuselage and wing panels. The connection quality and fatigue performance of the riveted joints directly affect the reliability and safety of the aircraft. In this paper, under the assumption of constant temperature, the fatigue strengthening mechanism of interference-fit riveting is introduced based on elastic-plastic mechanics and fracture mechanics. On this basis, the finite element (FE) models of the riveted single strap butt joints with various strap thickness and rivet sizes\/arrangements are established. The residual stresses distribution around the riveted hole is analyzed. Furthermore, the fatigue tests of the riveted single strap butt joints with cyclic loading are carried out. The experimental results verified the correctness and effectiveness of the simulation model. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that increasing rivet size and strap thickness within the allowable weight range can improve the fatigue performance of the riveted single strap butt joints. The knowledge could be used to guide the structural design and optimization of the riveted butt joints against fatigue.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma13153436","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,4]],"date-time":"2020-08-04T10:45:17Z","timestamp":1596537917000},"page":"3436","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Investigation on the Residual Stresses and Fatigue Performance of Riveted Single Strap Butt Joints"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Jintong","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic System, College of Mechanical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Advanced Manufacturing Technology of Zhejiang Province, College of Mechanical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aviation Industry Corporation of China Xi\u2019an Aircraft Industry (Group) Limited Company, Xi\u2019an 710089, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhenzheng","family":"Ke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Advanced Manufacturing Technology of Zhejiang Province, College of Mechanical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhiqiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Advanced Manufacturing Technology of Zhejiang Province, College of Mechanical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6270-3030","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yunbo","family":"Bi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic System, College of Mechanical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Advanced Manufacturing Technology of Zhejiang Province, College of Mechanical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Sateen, M.W., and Spena, P.R.
