A Study Of The Design And Construction Of A Full Scale Aircraft Component Demonstration Fatigue Test, Stephen Andrew Wright
Masters Theses
"The objective of this project was to design and build a full scale demonstration fatigue test for a Piper Aztec stabilator. A general discussion of the construction is included in this report. The Fourier series method of the aerodynamic theory of spanwise loading was used to determine the load distribution. The results show a close relationship with data furnished by Piper Aircraft Corporation. Fatigue theory is discussed in order to provide background for fatigue testing. The test specimen, methods and procedures of testing, known loading methods and systems, safety, etc., are discussed. Federal requirements for regulating and testing of aircraft …
