Wanhill, R.J.H. (author), Schra, L. (author), 't Hart, W.G.J. (author)This report compares the mechanical properties, fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth properties of the damage tolerant/medium strength aluminium plate alloys 2024-T351, 2324-T39, 8090-T651 and 8090-T8171. The main objective, in view of previous work, was to determine whether damage tolerant 8090-T8171 plate can advantageously replace the...report 1995

't Hart, W.G.J. (author), Schra, L. (author)The Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy 7050 produced by Alcoa is a typical plate and forging alloy because of its low quench sensitivity. In order to compare this alloy with the earlier tested plate alloy 7010 an experimental programme was performed involving tensile, fracture toughness, and fatigue testing. In addition stress corrosion crack initiation and...report 1980

't Hart, W.G.J. (author), Nederveen, A. (author)Constant amplitude and flight simulation fatigue tests have been carried out on sulphuric acid, chromic acid and phosphoric acid anodized specimens. A comparison was made with the fatigue behaviour of bare sheet material. Before fatigue testing the fracture strain of the anodic layers was determined.report 1980

't Hart, W.G.J. (author)Residual strength tests have heen performed, on 300 mm wide centrecracked panels of various thicknesses, at room temperature and at -50 C. During the tests, stable crack growth was filmed and recorded with the electric potential method. Fracture toughness was determined using the method of Feddersen.report 1976

't Hart, W.G.J. (author), Nederveen, A. (author), Nassette, J.H. (author), van Wijk, A. (author)The influence of previous corrosion on fatigue crack initiation has been determined. Cylindrical specimens and flat specimens with a central hole of the aluminium alloy T075-T6 were corroded in a 3.5 % NaC1 solution. The cylindrical specimens were tested under constant amplitude loading while for the specimens with a central hole a block...report 1975
