Quick-set temporary bonding clamps

Method of bonding materials to a flat surface eliminates the use of bolts to hold the pieces together. Two adhesives are used, the primary or permanent bonding material and a quick setting adhesive. No permanent after effects are left on the surfaces to which the materials are bonded.

Nonlinear response and failure characteristics of clamped internally pressurized graphite-epoxy cylindrical panels

The nonlinear response and failure characteristics of internally pressurized 4- to 16-ply cylindrical panels of graphite/epoxy are experimentally and analytically studied. Tests simulated the skin of a typical transport aircraft fuselage under loading to eventual failure. Aluminum test specimens were similarly tested and compared. All graphite/epoxy panels are found to withstand the internal pressures applied, which are well above the proof pressure loading expected for transport fuselage structures.

The stress criterion of a tension member with graded flexural stiffness : contribution to the problem of "clamping effect" outside of the elastic range

The approximate size of the stress criterion of a bar on two supports stressed beyond the elastic range is assessed by an approximation. The calculation proceeds from the premise of "substitute flexural stiffness" so defined that the part stressed beyond the elastic range may be considered as following Hooke's law when determining the flexural deformation quantities. For the determination of the substitute flexural stiffness, it is presumed that the material is already stressed so much beyond the yield point as to be strain-hardened. The data are directly applicable to materials having no definite yield point. For the rest, von Karman's method for compressed and subsequently deflected bars serves as basis for the calculation.
