APPLICATION OF APPLIED-LOAD-RATIO STATIC-TEST SIMULATION TECHNIQUES TO FULL-SCALE STRUCTURES. VOLUME III. EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM,

Abstract

The report covers the experimental portion of the current investigation. A total of 14 tests were performed on seven F8U-3 horizontal stabilizers. Specimens were loaded twice to fail in bending: first in the outboard structure, and then in the inboard splice joint. Prescribed load-time and temperature-time programs were automatically controlled. Four steady-state elevated temperature environments were used consisting of uniform and nonuniform temperature distributions up to 425F. All failures occurred in the required locations. (Author)
