This book was released on 1945 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: Column and plate compressive strengths of 24S-T aluminum-alloy sheet were determined both within and beyond the elastic range from tests of thin-strip columns and from local-instability tests of formed Z- and channel-section columns. These tests are the first of a series in an extensive research investigation to provide data on the structural strength of various aircraft materials. The results, which are presented in the form of curves and charts that may be used in the design and analysis of aircraft structures, supersede preliminary results published previously.
