Schijve, J. (author), Jacobs, F.A. (author)Fatigue tests were carried out on Redux and FM 123/5 bonded specimens at various stress levels, temperatures (RT to 65 C) and low and high test frequencies. Observations were made on the type of failure (bond line failure or sheet failure) and the significance of the adhesive squeezeout for crack nucleation. An analysis of the data and a...report 1984

de Jonge, J.B. (author)The report starts with a general review of the loading of transport aircraft fuselages and the consequent fuselage skin stresses Taking the F-28 fuselage as an example, the potential weight savings that can be obtained by using ARALL as skin material are assessed. The report ends with conclusions and recommendationsreport 1982

de Jonge, J.B. (author)The paper starts with a general discussion on various aspects of life re-assessment. Specific attention is paid to the possibility of re-assesgrnent by means of comparative fatigue tests on specimens. As an illustration of this method, the paper gives a description of the life-re-assessment procedures applied by the Royal Netherlands Airforce...report 1979

de Jonge, J.B. (author), Nederveen, A. (author), Tromp, P.J. (author)Riveted specimens that are considered representative for F-27 type wing structure were subjected to comparative flight simululation test in which the gust load severity and Ground-Air-Ground cycle were systematically varied. The effect of these variations on crack propagation behaviour was studied by means of crack growth tests on 2 mm sheet...report 1978

de Jonge, J.B. (author), Nederveen, A. (author), Tromp, P.J. (author)Fatigue tests under flight simulation loading were done on simple notched 2024-T3 Alclad sheet specimens. Reduction of the gust load amplitudes resulted in an increase of crack initiation life but hardly influenced crack propagation. Reduction of the overall stress level increased both initiation and crack propagation life. The observed...report 1978

Schra, L. (author), van Leeuwen, H.P. (author)The influence of previous corrosion on the fatigue life was investigated. It was foimd that a slight corrosive attack could drastically reduce the fatigue life. The damaging effect of corrosion was greater for the alloy AA 7050 than for AZ 74.61. It could be established that fatigue cracks initiated from various corrosion pits. A second series...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
