Abstract:

Cyclic tests were conducted on two ring-stiffened, glassreinforced plastic cylinders of two different designs. Both were subjected to a pressure variation from 0 to 4000 psi, that is, two-thirds of the collapse pressure of similar models, and failed after 86 and 442 cycles. Serious consideration to fatigue life of glass-reinforced plastic is therefore indicated if this material is to be used for pressure hulls which must have long service life and which must withstand relatively high strains and repeated loadings.
