Abstract
This paper deals with the study of the fatigue behavior of riveted joints. In particular, the description of the fatigue curves stress range vs. number of cycles to failure (Wöhler curves) requires a certain number of failure points to be relevant. We propose the analysis of the relevance of three models for the description of fatigue curves from the LCF regime to the VHCF regime. The models of Basquin, Weibull (Castillo and Fernandez-Canteli), and Stüssi are studied for the case of a single-rivet assembly, made of steel and wrought iron, for two stress ratios (R = 0 and R = 0.6). We show that the Weibull and Stüssi models are similar to the linear Basquin model in a range from about 105 cycles to 107 cycles. The Stüssi model based on the fatigue limit obtained with the Weibull model and the tensile limit of the assembly seems to offer a better description of the Wöhler curves. Nevertheless, the model requires additional failure points in the LCF and VHCF domains to improve the description.
