Techniques for Tests on Structures Subject to Kinetic Heating by P . Talbot LONDON : HER MAJESTY ’ S STATIONERY OFFICE 1967 PRICE FIVE SHILLINGS NET

The mau requirements of arrcraft static tests are stated. The extent and effects of kinetx heating are described, and various methods of simulating and controlL.ng heatug In the laboratory are discussed. The further problem of kin&x cooling leads to the technique of heating and cooling by convection where the heating rate 1s low. Xecsurenents and test observations are d~s-cussed with reference to the safety of the speouncn. The appllcatlon of simulated klnetlc heating to static tests 1s described and reference is made to the specxal diffxfscultles and needs of the hot fatigue test.
