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), 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 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
