| Abstract: | Combined static stress experiments are discribed in which thin walled tubes of a nickel-chrome-molybdenum steel are subjected to combined axial tension and internal pressure, and to combined axial compression and internal pressure. The axial loading was applied by means of a 30 ton hydraulic testing machine and the internal pressure by a pendulum dynamometer and pump. Tangential strains were measured by two newly developed hydraulic lateral extensometers, one of which was used in the axial tension experiments and the other in the axial compression tests. These extensometers possess the advantage over previous types for this work in that they measure accurately the average of the tangential strains over a considerable length of the tubes instead of at a single cross-section. Axial strains were measured with a Martens extensometer. Additional torsion tests are described. The experimental results checked well with the recently suggested constant energy of distortion theory of strength. |
