Description
This method of assessment involves reading coefficients from graphical data for use in subsequent equations. The spreadsheet automates all the curve reading to determine the proof and ultimate strength of lugs in an expedient manner. The spreadsheet has been produced by Abbott Aerospace an independent consultancy company offering structural engineering services the aerospace industry.

i.e. single shear bad, double shear good. Thin lugs good, thick lugs bad
I have done lug fatigue analysis but it is usually to a proprietary company fatigue method....
The stress concentration issue....good point. I will try and post another reply tonight when I have looked into this further
There is mention of "Repeated Loads" on sheet 3 which gives some guidance on fatigue but it is not developed. It recommends the use of a suitable SN curve and an appropriate stress concentration factor. I have encoded a spreadsheet to calculate the lug stress concentration factor using Peterson's. Do you think it is appropriate to use both methods together?
Also there is a worksheet entitled 'Curves' but I don't think it forms part of any calculation. Can this sheet be deleted?
Thanks again you for your effort.
