FATIGUE TESTING OF T 56 AIRCRAFT JET ENGINE PROPELLER SHAFTS.

Abstract

A series of T 56 aircraft jet engine propeller shafts, 60A, were subjected to one million cycles of 180,000 inchpounds bending moment and approximately 3000 cycles of 20,000 inch-pounds torsional moment to determine if chrome plating would affect shaft fatigue. Four shafts were tested; two plated with 0.010 inch chrome and two unplated serviceable shafts. Test results indicated no visible damage to any of the shafts tested. The shafts were returned to OCAMA for fatigue crack investigation. (Author)
