Improved Methods for Predicting Spectrum Loading Effects. Volume 2. Test Data
Abstract
This report presents the random flight spectra crack-growth test data generated in the experimental verification program of a research effort which aimed to upgrade the crack-growth prediction technology required for implementation of the damage-tolerance control procedure throughout the life cycle of any weapon system. Fighter and transport baseline spectra used in the test program are also presented in this report. The objective of phase III of this program is to perform experimental testing in verifying the crack-growth methodology developed in phases I and II. This volume contains tabulations and plots of test data generated during this experimental program. Data tabulations are presented for 41 random flight spectrum tests, including the fighter baseline spectrum tests, the fighter spectrum variation tests, and mission mix tests, as well as a transport baseline spectrum and its variation tests. In this volume, random flight spectrum tables used for the baseline tests and the mission mix tests are included. All test spectra used in the spectrum variation tests are not presented in this report, since they can easily be reconstructed from the baseline spectra.
