Net Heat of Combustion of AN-F-28 Aviation Gasolines

Description: "Experimental data on the heats of combustion and hydrogen contents of a number of aviation gasolines have been used in deriving a formula for computing net heat of combustion from (measured) gross heat of combustion. This formula appears to be sufficiently reliable for the purpose and has the advantage of making hydrogen determinations unnecessary. The data on heats of combustion are presented in tabular form, and in graphs showing the relation between net heat of combustion and (1) hydrogen c… more

Performance tests of wire strain gages 3: calibrations at high tensile strains

Description: Report presenting results of calibration in axial tension over the strain range 0 to 0.03 are presented for 15 types of single element, multistrand wire strain gages. Considerable nonlinearity was observed at strains between 0.0025 and 0.006. Fifty-eight percent of the gages failed by breaking of the strain-sensitive wire at strains less than 0.03.

Axial Fatigue Test at Two Stress Amplitudes of 0.032-Inch 24S-T Sheet Specimens With a Circular Hole

Description: Report presenting testing of the effect of applying a number of cycles of a high fatigue stress followed by a number of cycles of relatively low stress to failure has been investigated on 93 drilled specimens of a 24S-T sheet. The results indicated that any general formula for endurance must take sequence into consideration, which makes overly simple formulas inadequate to describe endurance over varying stress amplitudes.

Performance tests of wire strain gages 2: calibration factors in compression

Description: Report presenting the results of calibrations in axial compression over the strain range 0 to 0.0021 for 15 types of single element multistrand wire strain gages. The majority of gages showed significant differences between the calibration factors for strain increasing and strain decreasing. The majority of the gages were found to have slightly lower factors in compression than in tension.

Effect of Aging Aircraft Structures on Magnesium Parts

Description: Note presenting an analysis of a procedure for artificially aging assemblies and subassemblies to improve the strength properties of the wrought aluminum alloys comprising their principal structure. Information is given on the magnesium alloys which may be present. The forms in which magnesium alloys may be encountered are casings, extrusions, forgings, and sheet.

Bearing strengths of 75S-T aluminum-alloy sheet and extruded angle

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the bearing yield and ultimate strengths of 75S-T alloy in sheet form in both with- and across-grain directions and extruded angle in the longitudinal direction. Ratios of bearing to tensile properties were also determined.

The Chemical Action of Oils on Single Crystals of Metals

Description: Note presenting a study of the chemical action of oils on large single crystals of metals in the presence of various gases, with special emphasis placed on the influence of crystal plane. The studies primarily have been concerned with four metals: silver, copper, lead, and iron and four types of oil: pure hydrocarbons with mineral oil as representative, oiliness agents with stearic acid as representative, chemical polishing agents with tricresyl phosphate as representative, and commercial oils … more

Nondestructive Measurement of Residual and Enforced Stresses by Means of X-Ray Diffraction 2: Some Applications to Aircraft Problems

Description: Note presenting tests on the use of x-ray diffraction methods for determining surface stress distributions in notched tensile bars and in the vicinity of a welded joint in aircraft steel tubing. Data on the effects of stress and degree of notching on the principal stresses and stress-concentration factors for flat notched tensile-test specimens were obtained.

Analytical study of transmission of load from skin to stiffeners and rings of pressurized cabin structure

Description: From Introduction: "The investigations in this paper were made to obtain more generalized mathematical analyses of monocoque structure subjected to internal pressure. It is also assumed that the principle of superposition can be applied, so that stress analysis of a structure with combined internal pressure and external load can be made without excessive complication."

Column Strength of Extruded Magnesium Alloys AM-C58S and AM-C58S-T5

Description: "Tests have previously been made to determine the column strength of magnesium alloy AM-C58S-T5 extruded rod, but these few data were not considered a satisfactorily wide basis for establishing a general formula for the column strength of this alloy. It was therefore decided to make additional tests on a number of extruded sections of magnesium alloy AM-C58S-T5 with some tests on AM-C58S for comparison" (p. 1).

Properties of some expanded plastics and other low-density materials

Description: Report presenting an investigation of various mechanical and physical properties of several expanded plastics and other low-density materials of interest for aircraft applications, such as heat insulation or the core of a sandwich material. The materials in the investigation included cellulose acetate plastic, polystyrene, a urea-formaldehyde resin, a zein product, hard rubber, balsa wood, and cellular glass.
