Tensile Strut-Testing Machines
A.H. CHILVER · Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society · 1959
In a recent note, Fessler has suggested that some of the practical problems of strut testing can be overcome by using a “tensile strut-testing machine”. As Fessler points out, slender struts are frequently tested with pinned ends, either in the form of knife-edges or ball-ends.
