Abstract
Abstract
When a bar or strip is lap-jointed to a plate, and transmits tension to it, the transmission is not effected only by a smooth distribution of force along the lap joint; there is also a highly concentrated force, a considerable fraction of the total tension, where the bar meets the plate, and a second force at the end of the bar. These forces are investigated by strain-gage measurements for various lengths of lap, and by a plane-stress calculation, with fair agreement. The results suggest that the fatigue strength of such joints will depend on the detailed local character of the joint where the bar meets the plate, rather than on the length of the joint.
