Static and dynamic testing of experimental carbon fibre reinforced plastics APT-E axle tubes (IM-PDU-010)

Two experimental carbon fibre reinforced plastics APT-E axle tubes have been subjected to static and fatigue tests in four-point loading. During the static tests the strain values at various positions on the inner and outer faces of the tubes were monitored using bonded-on strain gauges. The stress/strain data output...
