Column strength of tubes elastically restrained against rotation at the ends

Report presents the results of a study made of the effects of known end restraint on commercially available round and streamline tubing of chromium-molybdenum steel, duralumin, stainless steel, and heat-treated chromium-molybdenum steel; and a more accurate method than any previously available, but still a practical method, was developed for designing compression members in riveted or welded structures, particularly aircraft. Two hundred specimens were tested as short, medium-length, and long columns with freely supported ends or elastically restrained ends. Tensile and compressive tests were made on each piece of original tubing from which column specimens were cut.

The Crinkling Strength and the Bending Strength of Round Aircraft Tubing

The upper limit of the column strength of structural members composed of thin material is the maximum axial stress such members can carry when short enough to fail locally, by crinkling. This stress is a function of the mechanical properties of the material and of the geometrical shape of the cross section. The bending strength, as measured by the modulus of rupture, of structural members is also a function of these same variables. Tests were made of round tubes of chromium-molybdenum steel and of duralumin to determine the crinkling strengths and the bending strengths in terms of the specified yield strength and the ratio of diameter to thickness. Empirical formulas are given relating these quantities.

Effect of aging on mechanical properties of aluminum-alloy rivets

Curves and tabular data present the results of strength tests made during and after 2 1/2 years of aging on rivets and rivet wire of 3/16-inch nominal diameter. The specimens were of aluminum alloy: 24s, 17s, and a17s of the duralumin type and 53s of the magnesium-silicide type.

Effect of Threaded and Serrated Holes on the Limited Time and Fatigue Strength of Flat Light-alloy Strips

The investigation was made for the purpose of ascertaining the notch sensitivity of flat strips of light alloy with cylindrical holes under initial tension stress, with special attention to the change in notch-effect factors with the number of load cycles. Then the studies were extended to similar flat strips with pin-loaded holes (tension lugs). This report deals with fatigue tests under initial tension load on flat test specimens of 3116.5 duralumin and AZM 3510.1 electron with plain unloaded and pin-loaded holes (tension lugs) of different forms.

The Torsion of Box Beams with One Side Lacking

The torsion of box beams of rectangular section, the edges of which are strengthened by flanges, and of which one side is lacking, is analyzed by the energy method. The torsional stresses are generally taken up by the bending of the two parallel walls, the rigidity of which is augmented by the third wall. The result was checked experimentally on duralumin and plywood boxes. The torsion recorded was 10 to 30 percent less than that given by the calculation, owing to self-stiffening.

The relation between the tensile strength and the hardness of metals

This report presents methods determining the hardness and tensile strength of metals by showing the effect and dependence of the hardness numbers on the strain-hardening. Relations between the hardness numbers and the ordinary stress-strain diagrams and tensile strength are given. Procedures for finding the Brinell strength are also presented.
