Torsional Modulus Of Rupture Of Thick-Walled Magnesium Alloy Fs-1 Tubing, Delbert R. Cox Jan 1951

Torsional Modulus Of Rupture Of Thick-Walled Magnesium Alloy Fs-1 Tubing, Delbert R. Cox

Masters Theses

"Magnesium is taking a more prominent position in the structure of aircraft, and because of this, it is important that the mechanical properties of the material be understood more fully. In the high speeds of today, the tendency is toward the use of thick-walled tubing instead of the thin-walled tubing with stiffening structures. For this reason, it is of interest to note the characteristics of thick-walled tubing when subjected to torsion.

This thesis was first suggested by a circular letter on proposed thesis titles from the Commanding General, Air Materiel Command, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. When interest was …
