Static tensile tests were performed on simple notched specimens containing fatigue cracks. Four types of aluminum alloys were investigated: 2024-T3 (formerly 24S-T3) and 7075-T6 (formerly 75S-T6) in sheet form, and 2024-T4 (formerly 24S-T4) and 7075-T6 (formerly 75S-T6) in extruded form. The cracked specimens were tested statically under four conditions: unmodified and with reduced eccentricity of loading by three methods. Results of static tests on C-46 wings containing fatigue cracks are also reported.NACA Research Memorandum L55D15A."May 20, 1955."Title from cover.Static tensile tests were performed on simple notched specimens containing fatigue cracks.
