An Analysis of the Compressive Strength of Honeycomb Cores for Sandwich Construction

Description: Note presenting an analysis that was undertaken as part of an investigation of low-density fibrous core materials for sandwich construction. This particular investigation found that honeycomb structure exhibit promise as core materials because of their high strength-weight ratios. A formula has been derived that considerably reduced the amount of testing necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the materials.

An analysis of the effect of lift-drag ratio and stalling speed on landing-flare characteristics

Description: From Introduction: "The flare assumed is based primarily on reference 1, in which information permitting calculation of the flare characteristics of an airplane was obtained from flight tests. The results of calculations for airplanes having constant lift-drag ratio during the flare are plotted in chart form."

An analysis of the factors that affect the exhaust process of a four-stroke-cycle reciprocating engine

Description: From Introduction: "An investigation was made to determine the relative significance of the factors that affect the exhaust process; the effects that an exhaust-process change has on cylinder charging were given special attention. Differential equations of this nature have been developed by Kemble (reference 1) but the forms of these equations are such that general conclusions regarding the various factors affecting the exhaust process cannot be determined."

An Analysis of the Transition of a Helicopter From Hovering to Steady Autorotative Vertical Descent

Description: "This report is the second phase of a broad program of study of the transient motions of helicopters in autorotative flight. The first phase (reference 1) dealt with the steady-state condition of autorotative vertical descent. This report is concerned with the the transition from the steady condition of hovering to the steady autorotative descent" (p. 1).

An Analysis of the Variation With Altitude of Effective Gust Velocity in Convective-Type Clouds

Description: From Introduction: "In the present paper, the variation of effective gust velocity in convective-type clouds with altitude is investigated. Data obtained during 1941 and 1942 at altitudes up to 34,000 feet and data obtained more recently from the Thunderstorm Project (reference 5) at altitudes up to 26,000 feet are utilized for this purpose. Consideration is given in analyzing the results both to data for the range

Analysis, Verification, and Application of Equations and Procedures for Design of Exhaust-Pipe Shrouds

Description: Investigations were made to develop a simplified method for designing exhaust-pipe shrouds to provide desired or maximum cooling of exhaust installations. Analysis of heat exchange and pressure drop of an adequate exhaust-pipe shroud system requires equations for predicting design temperatures and pressure drop on cooling air side of system. Present experiments derive such equations for usual straight annular exhaust-pipe shroud systems for both parallel flow and counter flow. Equations and met… more

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of Bolted Joints

Description: From Introduction: "The present paper contains the development of a recurrence formula for the bolt loads for the simplified case of a symmetrical butt joint with bolts spaced evenly in line with the applied load. The method presented herein is based on the fundamental relationship which was developed in reference 1 between the loads on any two successive bolts. The present paper also gives the results of an experimental investigation conducted to substantiate further the adequacy of the elasti… more

Analytical and experimental performance of an explosion-cycle combustion chamber for a jet-propulsion engine

Description: From Introduction: "The results of analytical and experimental investigations conducted at the NACA Cleveland laboratory to determine the performance of an explosion-cycle combustion chamber with a timed inlet valve and several fixed-area exhaust nozzles are presented herein. These values are compared with theoretical values obtained from an analysis of an ideal constant-volume cycle and an approximate constant-volume cycle, which is presented."

Analytical Determination of Control System Pulley-Axis Angles

Description: From Introduction: "The ideas developed in this paper are presented as a means of saving the designer's time and as a method of reduction of control-system friction by an accurate calculation of pulley-axis angles without the errors and difficult checking incident to any graphical method."

Analytical Method of Determining Transmission of Particles and Radiation Through Great Thickness of Matter

Description: "A matrix method of determining transmission, scattering, and absorption of radiation, such as gamma rays and neutrons, in large thickness of matter is presented. Experimental data as yet unavailable are required for complete utilization of the method. Material radioactivity whose intensity may be considered to be independent of time is also treated" (p. 1).

Analytical study of transmission of load from skin to stiffeners and rings of pressurized cabin structure

Description: From Introduction: "The investigations in this paper were made to obtain more generalized mathematical analyses of monocoque structure subjected to internal pressure. It is also assumed that the principle of superposition can be applied, so that stress analysis of a structure with combined internal pressure and external load can be made without excessive complication."

The application of airfoil studies to helicopter rotor design

Description: From Summary: "In order to facilitate the application of miscellaneous airfoil data to the problems of the helicopter designer, a discussion of a number of the problems most frequently arising is presented. A reference list of published papers on airfoil section characteristics (or their application) which experience has shown to be useful in connection with these helicopter problems is included."

An application of Falkner's surface-loading method to predictions of hinge-moment parameters for swept-back wings

Description: Report presenting an application of the Falkner lifting-surface-theory method to predicting hinge-moment and lift parameters for sweptback plan forms in order to develop an analogue to the existing lifting-surface-theory procedure for prediction of these parameters on unswept plan forms. For two specific plan forms, the hinge-moment predictions based on the Falkner method were not in good agreement with experimental values.
