Bearing strengths of bare and alclad XA75S-T and 24S-T81 aluminum alloy sheet

Description: From Introduction: "A report was recently issued covering an investigation of the bearing properties of the wrought aluminum alloys commonly used in aircraft construction (reference 1). Since this work was undertaken, two new materials, XA75S-T and 24S-T81, have been developed to the commercial stage for aircraft use. The objection of this investigation was to determine the bearing yield and ultimate strengths of these new materials in the form of bare and alclad sheet."

Bearing strengths of some wrought-aluminum alloys

Description: From Introduction: "Although a number of investigations of the bearing strength of aluminum alloys have been made, the problem remains one of considerable interest to the aircraft industry. For this reason it has seemed advisable to make additional tests of the commonly used aircraft alloys in an effort to establish a better basis for the selection of allowable bearing values. Current design practice does not recognize the effect of edge distance upon bearing strengths, and for this reason edge… more

Bearing tests of magnesium-alloy sheet

Description: From Summary: "Bearing tests of AM-3S, AM-52S, and AM-C57S magnesium-alloy sheet in various thicknesses and tempers were made. Bearing yield and ultimate strengths were determined and compared for various edge distances and for various ratios of loading-pin diameter to sheet thickness. Tensile strengths were determined and ratios of average bearing yield and ultimate strength to tensile strength are given."
