Experimental and analytical investigation of an interlocking tape joint. [Experimental and analytical investigation of an interlocking tape joint in the construction of bomb and rocket bodies]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7195434
The interlocking tape joint concept, an experimental study which utilized aluminum tape joint models loaded under different loading conditions, is described. Experimental joint strengths, deformation modes, and failure characteristics are discussed. An analytical method of analyzing the joint by use of an axisymmetric finite element computer code is described. Results of the analytical method are presented and related to experimental observations.
