Aircraft Hydraulic Fluids Types
To assure proper system operation and to avoid damage to nonmetallic components of the hydraulic system, the correct fluid must be used. When adding fluid to a system, use the…
Aircraft Hydraulic System
The word “hydraulics” is based on the Greek word for water and originally meant the study of the physical behavior of water at rest and in motion. Today, the meaning…
Stress relaxation
stress relaxation is the observed decrease in stress in response to strain generated in the structure. This is primarily due to keeping the structure in a strained condition for some finite interval of time and…
Creep
In materials science, creep (sometimes called cold flow) is the tendency of a solid material to move slowly or deform permanently under the influence of persistent mechanical stresses. It can occur as a result of…
Thermal Stress
