A Theoretical Investigation of Longitudinal Stability of Airplane with Free Controls Including Effect of Friction in Control System

Description: "The relation between the elevator hinge-moment parameters and the control-forces for changes in forward speed and in maneuvers is shown for several values of static stability and elevator mass balance. The stability of the short-period oscillations is shown as a series of boundaries giving the limits of the stable region in terms of the elevator hinge-moment parameters. The effects of static stability, elevator moment of inertia, elevator mass unbalance, and airplane density are also considere… more

Metallurgical Laboratory, Chemical Research - Analytical, Graphite Purity Research Program

Description: Abstract. Chemical analytical studies of graphite raw materials have revealed new sources of petroleum cokes and pitches of greater purity than those previously used in the manufacture of project graphite. The use of these raw materials of exceptional purity has resulted in an improvement in k of the order of one per cent as compared with the AGOT-AGNT graphite typical of the previous production. A study of the graphitizing process has shown that no dangerous impurities are introduced in the… more

Physical Properties of Uranyl Sulfate Solutions

Description: Abstract: Measurements are reported of the solubility of uranyl sulfate in water at several temperatures, of the density of uranyl sulfate solutions as a function of concentration, of the variation of density of uranyl sulfate solutions of three different concentrations over a temperature range from 0[degree]C. to about 93[degree]C., and of the pH of uranyl sulfate solutions as a function of concentration as well as of temperature. The pH measurements were taken on uranyl sulfate samples prepar… more

Temperature Effect in Homogeneous Pile

Description: Some idealized considerations of the temperature field in the homogeneous pile are given. It is crudely estimated that the effective mean temperature rise of the pile to be used in calculating the k loss is something like 3/4 the rise in temperature of the slurry in passing through the pile.

The Advantages of Uniform Fuel Distribution for Air-Cooled Engines From Considerations of Cooling Requirements and Fuel Economy

Description: "The purpose of this report is to show by analysis of existing data, pending direct experimental determination, the extent to which nonuniform distribution of fuel to cylinders of a multicylinder engine can produce temperature deviation and the benefits to be anticipated from attainment of uniform fuel distribution" (p. 1).

Bearing strengths of bare and alclad XA75S-T and 24S-T81 aluminum alloy sheet

Description: From Introduction: "A report was recently issued covering an investigation of the bearing properties of the wrought aluminum alloys commonly used in aircraft construction (reference 1). Since this work was undertaken, two new materials, XA75S-T and 24S-T81, have been developed to the commercial stage for aircraft use. The objection of this investigation was to determine the bearing yield and ultimate strengths of these new materials in the form of bare and alclad sheet."

The Coupling of Flexural Propeller Vibrations with the Torsional Crankshaft Vibrations

Description: The exact mathematical treatment of the problem is possible by replacing the propeller blade by a homogeneous prismatic rod. Conclusions can them be drawn as to the behavior of an actual propeller, since tests on propeller blades have indicated a qualitative agreement with the homogeneous rod. The natural frequencies are determined and the stressing of the systems under the various vibration modes are discussed.

Determination of the Mass Moments and Radii of Inertia of the Sections of a Tapered Wing and the Center-of-Gravity Line Along the Wing Span

Description: "For computing the critical flutter velocity of a wing among the data required are the position of the line of centers of gravity of the wing sections along the span and the mass moments and radii of inertia of any section of the wing about the axis passing through the center of gravity of the section. A sufficiently detailed computation of these magnitudes even if the weights of all the wing elements are known, requires a great deal of time expenditure. Thus a rapid competent worker would requ… more
