bonded joints are subjected to cleavage stress. Some design methods
for reducing cleavage stress on stiffening joints are illustrated in Fig.
3.15. Resistance of stiffening members to bending forces is increased
by extending the bond area, providing greater flange flexibility, and
increasing the stiffness of the base sheet.
3.5.3 Cylindrical joints
Several recommended designs for rod and tube joints are illustrated
in Fig. 3.16. These designs should be used instead of the simpler butt
