Determination of desirable lengths of Z- and channel-section columns for local-instability tests

Description: From Summary: "Local-instability tests of 24S-T aluminum-alloy formed Z- and channel-section columns were made in order to determine a length of test specimen that would avoid the increased strength associated with short lengths and also permit the occurrence of a convenient buckling pattern. The effect of column length on the critical compressive stress, on the average stress at maximum load, and on the number of half-waves of the buckling pattern is shown."

Effect of brake forming on the strength of 24S-T aluminum-alloy sheet

Description: Tests were made to determine the effect of brake forming on the strength of 24S-T aluminum alloy sheet that had been formed to an inside bend radius of three times the sheet thickness. The results for both directions of the grain of the material showed that the compressive yield stresses were appreciably increased, that the tensile yield stresses were moderately increased, that the ultimate tensile stresses were only slightly increased, that the elongations were considerably reduced, and that t… more

Increasing the compressive strength of 24S-T aluminum-alloy sheet by flexure rolling

Description: From Summary: "A method of increasing the compressive strength of 24S-T aluminum-alloy sheet by flexure rolling was investigated. In this method, the sheet was alternately bent and then straightened by rolling a four-step procedure. The results showed that the greatest increase was in compressive yield stress in the with-grain direction regardless of the direction of rolling; the increase was greater as the radius of flexure rolling became smaller and as the number of steps was increased. The t… more

Description: Results are presented of tests to determine the effect of brake forming in various tempers on the strength of Alclad 75S-T aluminum alloy sheet in the direction parallel to the brake.

When Alclad 75S-T sheet 'as received' was formed, however, the tensile yield stress was reduced about 7 percent for the wi… more

Structural efficiencies of various aluminum, titanium, and steel alloys at elevated temperatures

Description: Efficient temperature ranges are indicated for two high-strength aluminum alloys, two titanium alloys, and three steels for some short-time compression-loading applications at elevated temperatures. Only the effects of constant temperatures and short exposure to temperature are considered, and creep is assumed not to be a factor.
