The only data that I can find is for "solid rivet tension allowables in various thicknesses of 24ST alclad sheet". The data comes from the design offices of the Glenn L. Martin Company .... Detail Aircraft Structural Analysis Supplement Pamphlet # 8.
According to this reference: For a 5/32"...
An NAS1398B blind rivet crosses to a CR2263 cherry lock (Ref DC-9 SRM 51-30-0 Fig # 92). Per the Cherry/Textron Tech data sheet, a 5/32" CR2263 has an ultimate tensile strength of 375 lbs. They reference MIL-STD-1312 and NAS1400 as the source of their data.
I have a couple of comments also:

Can anyone tell me where I can find the bearing allowable for AMS 4640 aluminum nickel bronze? I am trying to analyze a bushing installation in a lug. Thanks

In the Airline/Aerospace Engineering field the FAA delegates certain engineering functions to private individuals. One such delegation is called a DER or Delegated Engineering Representative. Many DERs do consulting work for private organizations. A DER has delegated authority to approve...

The 100Gs and 300 pounds was a Boeing recommendation for a project I was involved with several years ago.
I think it is pretty much an industry standard now.
Depending upon the type of antenna you are planning to use (long blade vrs flat etc) there are a couple of other design cases you may want to consider.
1. 100 Gs applied in the up, fwd and lateral directions to account for vibrations.
2. A hand load (abuse load) of 300 Lbs in all directions...
In a former life I worked as a Liaison Engineer at Douglas on the MD-80 program so I am somewhat familiar with the capabilities AND LIMITATIONS of EDR.
Based on my experience, unless there have been some drastic improvements, I would be very reluctant to spend capital resources on such a...

Rob,I too believe your solution is the best compromise.
In addition, you bring up an interesting point that I believe warrants further discussion. Many MRB aerospace/aircraft engineers are unaware that aircraft mechanics are taught to bend formed angles at 90 degrees to the grain...
737eng Good to hear from you.
I suggest you post this thread in the aerodynamic engineering forum also.
With regard to the use of button head fasteners, I know that this has become an industry trend especially when repairing thin skins (such as on the 737). The recent SRM changes are at least...
The use of csk repair washers is standard practice on Boeing aircraft. I am not aware of any joint strength test data for this type of joint.
I believe your method for determining joint strength may be overly conservative.
Assuming the csk repair washer is bonded in place with some kind of...
In the aerospace world we evaluate dents in aluminum structure by measuring the depth of the dent and the width of the minor axis. Generally speaking the "sharper" the dent or crease, the more concerned we are about cracking (on the inner tension side surface). Although there is a cold working...
Depending on the aircraft type and utilization there are many things one should consider.
A few that come to mind are listed below -
Commerical Stripper issues:
1. Hydrogen embrittlement of high strength steel parts such as the langding gear etc.
2. Possible damage to composite parts
3...
