Fatigue-Arrestor BoltsBolts that arrest (or, more precisely, retard) onset of fatigue cracking caused by inelastic strains developed. Specifically developed to be installed in flange holes of unrestrained rocket engine nozzle. Fanges sometimes used to bolt nozzle to test stand; however, when rocket engine operated without this restraint, region around bolt holes experience severe inelastic strains causing fatigue cracking. Interference fits introduce compressive preloads that retard fatigue by reducing ranges of strains. Principle of these fatigue-arrestor bolts also applicable to holes in plates made of other materials and/or used for different purposes.
