I took our tension clip spreadsheets off line while I derived a theoretical method that matches the leading OEM tension clip analysis strengths. That was an interesting process……… The full derivation will be in the up coming free text book.

The three spreadsheet methods are available here:

AA-SM-027-003 Tension Clips – Formed Aluminum – Abbott Aerospace Method.xlsx

AA-SM-027-004 Tension Clips – Extruded Aluminum – Abbott Aerospace Method.xlsx

AA-SM-027-005 Tension Clips – Fastener Tension – Abbott Aerospace Method.xlsx

As usual, if you spot anything or have any suggestions please use the contact form on the website and let us know.

Happy Stressing!
