Abstract
An approach for modeling the transfer of forces in fastener groups is described which takes nonlinearities into account. The method is used for analyzing two problems which involve design of repairs and damaged structures. The model predictions are found to be in a good agreement with available experimental results. The study demonstrates the importance of fastener stiffness and initial clearance on load distribution.
