Abstract

Experiments have been conducted to determine the fracture threshold for cast iron and steel when subjected to hydrostatic pressures up to 11300 kg/cm2. General agreement with a maximum elastic strain theory of failure is found.

Résumé

Des expériences ont été effectuées pour déterminer le seuil de rupture des fontes et des aciers soumis à des pressions hydrostatiques jusqu' à 11300 kg/cm2. Une concordance générale avec la théorie de la tension elastique maximum de rupture a été trouvée.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurden Versuche durchgefuehrt zur Bestimmung der Bruchschwelle von Gusseisen and Stahl unter hydrostatischen Drucken his zu 11300 kg/cm2: Allgemeine Uebereinstimmung mit einer Bruchtheorie maximaler elastischer Dehnung wurde gefunden.
