Schra, L. (author), Groep, F.F. (author)Alternate immersion stress corrosion testing according to ASTM specification G44 has proven to be representative for aluminium alloys in natural environments resembling the actual environmental conditions for aircraft. A simple automated stress corrosion testing method called the ASCOR (Automated Stress COrrosion Ring) test was developed to test...report 1991

Schra, L. (author), 't Hart, W.G.J. (author), Boogers, J.A.M. (author)Outdoor corrosion and stress corrosion tests were conducted on Al-Li plate and sheet materials for 3 and almost 5 years respectively. The results can be summarized as follows: Corrosion: Peak aged XXXA-T651 (8090-T651) exhibited greater exfoliation corrosion resistance than 2024-T351 and 2324-T39 plate. 2091-T3 and 2024-T3 sheet were found to be...report 1990

Wanhill, R.J.H. (author), Schra, L. (author), 't Hart, W.G.J. (author)A comparison is made of the crack resistance (R-curve), fracture toughness and instability behaviour of candidate damage tolerant aluminiumlithium alloys, 2091 and 8090, and the widely used conventional 2024-T3 alloy. The 2091 alloy was in three heat treatment conditions, T8X, TX and TY, all artificially aged. The 8090 alloy was in the T81...report 1990

Schra, L. (author), 't Hart, W.G.J. (author)Long-term outdoor exposure tests were done to investigate the effect of cooling rate on corrosion and stress corrosion properties of extruded rods of the high strength aluminium alloys 2024-T4, 2023-T6, 7075-T6 and 7075-T73. The 2024 alloy exhibited a high susceptibility to SCC irrespective of best treatment and cooling rate, whereas 7075-T6 was...report 1990

Wanhill, R.J.H. (author), Schra, L. (author)The economic life of airframes is largely determined by widespread initiation and growth of fatigue cracks at low stress intensities. Any factor reducing the low stress intensity fatigue damage rate could, if controllable, increase the structural durability. One such factor is corrosion fatigue crack arrest. Corrosion product build-up within a...report 1988

Schra, L. (author), 't Hart, W.G.J. (author)Long-term outdoor stress corrosion tests were executed on overaged 7000 series aluminium alloy plate and forgings. Plate material of the alloys 7010-T7651, 7010-T7451 and 7075-T7351 exhibited an excellent resistance to SCC. PM alloy X7091-T7E69 forgings combined a higher strength with superior SCC resistance as compared to IM alloy forgings. The...report 1988

de Koning, A.U. (author)As an introduction the practical significance of fatigue crack growth life prediction is related to the service life, the inspection period and the fracture control requirements. Then different aspects of fatigue crack growth in metallic materials are discussed in more detail. Important effects such as chemical environment, short cracks, crack...report 1987

van der Linden, H.H. (author)The report contains the description, results and conclusions of a fatigue test programme which assessed the fatigue lives of fastener systems using different joints. High load transfer single shear joints were evaluated in a core programme; secondary bending and load transfer were determined experimentally. About 750 specimens were fatigue...report 1985

de Koning, A.U. (author)This study deals with fracture mechanics aspects of mode 1 crack growth under montonically increasing (quasi-static) loads. Using the finite element method stable crack growth and the plastic deformation fields associated with this process are analyzed. A two parameter approach is proposed for a description of initiation and subsequent stable...report 1985

Kolkman, H.J. (author)Differences in the fatigue crack propagation rates of 2024-T351 and 2324-T39 are explicable from differences in microstructures. The slope changes (transitions) in the crack propagation curves are probably associated with the plastic zone sizes being equal to certain microstructural dimensions. As a consequence of different chemical compostion...report 1985
