Abstract : Tension Fittings are commonly classified into five types. They are Bathtub fitting, Channel fitting, Angle fitting,
‘PI’ fitting and Double angle fitting. Tension fittings are conservatively sized as their weight is usually small relative to their
importance. In the previous study, the channel fitting was considered to be fixed at all the fastener locations. Thus, the
results obtained were little conservative. In this study it is decided to bring in the flexibility of the fasteners into the analysis
using different methods of fastener modeling. In this study, a comparison of the various methods (Tate & Swift) of fastener
modeling is studied in detail. The effect of fastener flexibility is studied on the distribution of internal stresses in the channel
fitting as compared to the fixed boundary conditions. Aluminum alloy 7050-T7452 is selected for the study.
