Title: INVESTIGATION OF THE COMPRESSIVE, BEARING, AND SHEAR CREEP-RUPTURE PROPERTIES OF AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL METALS AND JOINTS AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES. Period covered January-December 1955

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4314740

Cornell Aeronautical Lab., Ic., Buffalo. Various aircraft structural alloys have been exposed to a tension, compression, bearing, and shear creep test program to establish their high-temperature creep and rupture properties under the influence of these types of stresses. From results obtained in this investigation, it has been found that the test alloys display creep characteristics under compression, bearing, and shear stresses quite similar to those obtained in tension creep testing. The high-temperature creep and rupture behaviors of the test alloys have been presented in various tabular and chart forms and correlations of compression, bearing, and shear creep vs. tension creep on a stress basis have been made to assist in the assignment of creep stress values to members undergoing creep strain other than tension.
