Shaved CSK NAS1097 rivet strength allowables

[SteveAero]

Hi,

I know that this subject has been broached in previous posts, but I am looking for something more specific.

Due to corrosion in the skin of a Boeing a/c, a blend out (from 0.071" to 0.068") was performed at joint locations. This means that the skin and NAS1097K fastener heads were shaved down by 0.003". The DER is requesting a calculation showing the reduction in the static joint allowable due to the head of the rivet being shaved down. I know of 2 sources that have such a calc-both HSB references from my time working for Airbus:

1. HSB 21020 calculates the head and shank Ultimate static allowables,
2. HSB 21025 provides a method to determine fastener joint strength allowable in case a fastener head becomes un-flushed after a rework (blend out) without adjustment of the countersink.

Both of these sources yield around 3% reduction in static joint strength in this situation.

My question: are there any similar methods in the public domain (or of American origin) that would yield the static joint reduction for shaved head NAS1097 rivets?

how would the "NACA flush" type rivets compare from a fatigue perspective??

Ooh, I doubt that the NACA took on that question, but it's a good one. I have no idea where one would find test data.
Better yet: never do this in a fatigue-sensitive joint.

I'm pretty sure there is a NACA WAR report for shear allowables for NACA method flush rivets.

I want to go looking for that. Would NACA have gone to the full extent of coupon tests needed to satisfy the A-basis (95%/95% ) value?
