PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE BIAXIAL TENSILE BEHAVIOR OF ANISOTROPIC SHEET MATERIALS,

Abstract

This report deals with the influence of a biaxial stress field on the strength of anisotropic sheet materials. An analytical and mechanistic treatment of the problem is presented with experimental data on two commercial titanium-base alloy sheet materials. In addition two closed-end cylindrical pressure vessels were fabricated and hydrostatically tested. Tensile strength increases of 50 percent and greater were obtained under plane strain biaxial tensile loading conditions. (Author)
