Wanhill, R.J.H. (author), Schra, L. (author)The effects of flat to slant fracture transitions on flight simulation fatigue crack propagation in specimens of 7O5O aluminium alloy forgings are discussed. For specimens containing flat, shearlipped, or full slant fractures at similar crack lengths the crack resistance (R curve) approach appears to provide an explanation for differences in the...report 1976

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

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

Wanhill, R.J.H. (author), Jongebreur, A.A. (author), Morgan, E. (author), Moolhuijsen, E.J. (author)Flight simulation fatigue crack propagation tests on single and double element lugs made from 2024-T351 and TOT5-TT351 aluminium alloys and Ti-6AJ.-UV titanium alloy were carried out. Initial damage was a throughthickness notch at one side of each hole in one element. Results showed that crack propagation lives for double element lugs were much...report 1981
