Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
A failed bolt of horizontal stabilizer support (RH) of a helicopter was analyzed. Analysis showed that the bolt has failed by fatigue; crack being initiated at the thread root. Evidences suggest that the premature fatigue crack initiation was promoted due to (a) excessive clearance between the bolt and the assembly, and (b) excessive tightening of the bolt. The material of construction and the strength parameter were found to conform to the specifications. No metallurgical abnormalities were responsible for the fatigue crack initiation.
