Bolt Extrusion Fatigue Test
Fasteners and Joints Mechanical Testing
The structural integrity of an aircraft relies heavily on the bolts, rivets, and adhesive joints that hold it together. These elements transfer enormous loads between primary structural components, making rigorous mechanical testing essential for flight safety. Our solutions evaluate tensile strength, shear strength, proof load, and torque performance of threaded fasteners and riveted assemblies. Fatigue endurance testing under cyclic loading determines the dynamic lifespan of bolted connections, ensuring they withstand the repetitive stress cycles experienced throughout an aircraft's service life. Adhesive joints are assessed for lap shear strength to verify bonded structural performance. All testing strictly follows ASTM F606, NASM 1312, and ASTM D1002 standards.
