In the mid-1950s, two U-52 bomber planes disappeared from the radar screen while flying over the Mediterranian
sea. Investigation of the wreckage recovered from the seabed showed that the whole wings and tails of the planes
had been detached from the fuselage without any plastic deformation.
a. What is the expected mode and type of this failure?
b. Utilize the graph and the table of pertinent properties of different materials, select the adequate alloy for
the aircraft to withstand 10 cycles at maximum stress of 480 MPa.
