Download or read book Column and Plate Compressive Strengths of Aircraft Structural Materials written by George J. Heimerl and published by . This book was released on 1945 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: Column and plate compressive strengths of extruded 75S-T aluminum-alloy sheet were determined both within and beyond the elastic range from tests of thin-strip columns and from local-instability tests of H-, Z- and channel-section columns. These tests are part of an extensive research investigation to provide data on the structural strength of various aircraft materials. The results, which are presented in the form of curves and charts that are suitable for use in the design and analysis of aircraft structures, supersede preliminary results published previously.
