THE EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF THE LOCKED-IN STRESSES IN THE FLIGHT DECK OF USS SARATOGA (CVA 60)

Abstract

Locked-in stresses were measured in the flight deck of a CVA 59-Class aircraft carrier, USS Saratoga (CVA 60). Stresses were determined at two transverse locations away from the weld seams and in both transverse and longitudinal weld seams. The longitudinal stresses away from the welds were compressive and averaged about one-fourth of the yield strength of the flightdeck material. The stresses in the weld seams were tensile and approached the yield strength in order of magnitude. (Author)
