Preliminary Fatigue Studies on Aluminum Alloy Aircraft Engines (open access)

Preliminary Fatigue Studies on Aluminum Alloy Aircraft Engines

"Preliminary information on the complex subject of the fatigue strength of fabricated structural members for aircraft is presented in the test results obtained on several different types of airship girders subjected to axial tension and compression in a resonance fatigue machine. A description of this machine as well as numerous photographs of the fatigue failures are given. There is also presented an extended bibliography on the subject of fatigue strength" (p. 1).
