A Fixture for Testing Sheet Materials in Compression at Elevated Temperatures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2016
Summary
Supersonic speeds of flight have brought thermal problems due to the kinetic heating of skin materials. These materials, generally metallic, suffer loss of strength and stiffness with increase in temperature and a knowledge of changes in value of these properties at elevated temperatures is a pre-requisite to a design study. More particularly for stress offices the compressive stress-strain curves are required from which are derived tangent- and secant-moduli used to predict buckling in components. A fixture has therefore been developed for testing under edgewise compression sheet materials up to temperatures of 400 °C.
