Wanhill, R.J.H. (author)Flight simulation fatigue crack propagation tests with gust spectrum loading were carried out on 2024-T3/carbon-epoxy, 7475-T76l/carbon-epoxy and Ti-6Al-4V/carbon-epoxy laminates with nominal weight savings of -30% as compared to equivalent 2024-T3 panels. The performance of the 2024-T3/carbon-epoxy laminates was much superior to those of the...report 1978

Wanhill, R.J.H. (author)This paper concisely reviews and discusses (1) metallurgically cleaner alloys like -2124, 2048 and 7475, (2) potential application of 7000 series alloys in tension panels, (3) development of high strength stress corrosion resistant thick section materials like 7010, 7049 and 705O, (4) powder metallurgy 7000 series alloys with high strength and...report 1977

Schijve, J. (author), Jacobs, F.A. (author), Tromp, P.J. (author)Flight-simulation tests based on a standardized gust load spectrum were carried out in normal air, very dry air and salt water. Specimen thicknesses were t = 2 mm and t = 10 mm, mean stress in flight was 70 or 55 MN/m². In all cases a significant effect of the environment was found. Fatigue lives for t = 10 ram were much shorter than for t = 2...report 1976

't Hart, W.G.J. (author), Nederveen, A. (author), Stoffels, E. (author), Tromp, J. (author)Residual strength tests have been performed on 610 mm wide centre cracked panels. During the tests, stable crack growth was filmed and crack opening displacements were measured. Fracture toughness was determined using the method of Feddersen. Flight simulation fatigue tests were carried out to investigate the crack propagation properties. A...report 1975
