Abstract
A data acquisition and reduction system has been created for aircraft materials fatigue testing. The system uses HP-9835 Desktop Calculator, an HP-2240A Measurement and Control Processor and a Materials Testing System loading machine. Three different computer programs on the HP-9835 are used to analyze material properties, simulate inflight fatigue loading and compute fatigue damage at a stress concentration. The flight loads are selected from Mil Spec 8866 and applied in a random order. The fatigue damage at a stress concentration is calculated from the applied local stresses using Miner's Law.

    Design and validation of an apparatus for high temperature fatigue testing in an inert environment. 

    Hastie, William Aaron Jr. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1981-09);
    A synergistic interaction between creep and fatigue in structural materials at high temperature has previously been shown to exist. More recently, the importance of environmental effects on fatigue has been shown to ...
