- Summary:
- Burst tests of through-cracked, thin-walled Cylinders fabricated from Ti-5Al-2.5Sn ELI and 2014-T6 Al were conducted at -320 deg and -423 deg F (77 and 20 K). The diameters of the cylinders tested were approximately 6 and 18 in. (15 and 46 cm). The titanium alloy test results showed the pressure bulge coefficient was essentially constant for these two diameters. Comparison of the experimental results with an expression for predicting hoop fracture stress proposed by Eiber showed a good fit with the aluminum alloy data but a poor fit with the titanium alloy data.
