Analysis of Results from an International Fatigue Test Programme,

Abstract

Under the auspices of the Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Research Council fatigue tests were made on identical 2L.65 aluminium alloy specimens in the UK, Canada and Australia; this report statistically examines the results to determine whether the same answer may come from nominally the same fatigue experiment. Viewing the complete set of data any differences between the results of the various countries were not significant. Viewing limited portions of the data some differences were significant. Variance differences were significant only at the lower stress levels used and involved predominantly UK (first set) and Canadian results. Differences between means were significant only at the upper stress levels used and involved predominantly Australian and UK (second set) results. (Author)
