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

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

Schijve, J. (author), Jacobs, F.A. (author), Tromp, P.J. (author)Flight-simulation tests were carried out on sheet specimens notched "by an open hole (Kt = 2.66). The material was 2024-T3 in three conditions; Alclad, bare and chemically milled. The crack initiation period and the crack propagation period were considerably shorter for the Alclad material. The significance of the cladding, both for constant...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
