van der Hoeven, W. (author)Residual strength tests were performed on ARALL panels consisting of ARALL3 (3/2) laminates with bonded-on doublers. In particular, the effect of the doubler geometry (shape and thickness) on the residual strength was investigated. Prior to residual strength testing all panels were fatigue loaded to create a realistic type of damage, i.e. cracks...report 1992

Wanhill, R.J.H. (author)Flight simulation fatigue crack propagation tests with gust spectrum loading were carried out on laminates of (i) aluminium alloy 2024-T3/carbon-epoxy, (ii) aluminium alloy 7475-T761/carbon-epoxy and (iii) titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V/carbon-epoxy with nominal weight savings of 30% and 40% as compared to equivalent 2024-T3 Alclad and 7475-T761...report 1982

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

Wanhill, R.J.H. (author)Flight simulation fatigue crack propagation tests with gust spectrum loading were carried out on 2024-T3/carbon-epoxy, 7475-T76l/carbon-epoxy and Ti-6Al-4V/carbon-epoxy laminates with nominal weight savings of -30% as compared to equivalent 2024-T3 panels. The performance of the 2024-T3/carbon-epoxy laminates was much superior to those of the...report 1978
