Abstract
The fabrication, testing, and analysis of a full-sized photoelastic model of a thin-walled compressor housing are presented. The conical model and connecting bolts were stress frozen under axial and bending loads to simulate severe in-flight manoeuver loads of a jet aircraft sufficient to cause flange separation. Results and discussion are presented for stresses in and near the flange, for stresses experienced by the bolts, and for the fabrication techniques used.
