Stresses Around Rectangular Cut-Outs in Skin-Stringer Panels Under Axial Loads 2

Description: "Cut-outs in wings or fuselages produce stress concentrations that present a serious problem to the stress analyst. As a partial solution of the general problem, this paper presents formulas for calculating the stress distribution around rectangular cut-outs in axially loaded panels. The formulas are derived by means of the substitute-stringer method of shear-lag analysis" (p. 1).

Use of Stagnation Temperature in Calculating Rate of Heat Transfer in Aircraft Heat Exchangers

Description: "Theoretical and experimental investigations of the effect of frictional heat on the rate of heat transmission at high fluid velocities are briefly reviewed. On the basis of these investigations, calculations are made which show that the use of the stagnation temperature of the cooling air as the effective temperature for heat transfer in an aircraft heat exchanger is sufficiently accurate" (p. 1).

Wind-Tunnel Investigation of Wing Ducts on a Single Engine Pursuit Airplane

Description: Report presenting a study of several ducts installed in the wings of a model of a conventional single-engine pursuit airplane in the full-scale tunnel to determine the influence of inlet design and cooling-air flow on the pressure losses within the duct and on the aerodynamic characteristics of the airplane. Large differences in the total pressure at the radiator occurred as a result of variations in the inlet-velocity ratio, the lift coefficient, the shape and position of the inlet, the slope … more

Wind-tunnel tests of two tapered wings with straight leading edges and with constant-chord center sections of different spans

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the 19-foot pressure tunnel of two-tapered wings with NACA 230-series airfoil sections, straight leading edges, and constant-chord center sections. Lift, drag, and pitching-moment coefficients were determined for the plain wing and for each flap arrangement for a range of Reynolds numbers. The results indicated that the wing with the square center section has greater maximum lift coefficients and increments of maximum lift due to flap deflections than the w… more

The Diffusion Length and the Utilization of Thermal Neutrons in a Heterogeneous Pile

Description: Abstract: "An accurate calculation is given for the quantity which corresponds to the diffusion length in the theory of the pile. The procedure is to establish a relationship between the diffusion length and the change in thermal utilization from a pile with infinite sides to one with sides of a finite length. The calculation of this change in the thermal utilization is then carried through. Approximation to the answer and numerically exact calculations are given in the report. The results show… more

Report on Reserves and Production Situation of Vanadiferous and Related Ores in Colorado Plateau Region

Description: From introduction: The general distribution of known deposits of vanadium-bearing sandstone, which also contain some uranium and radium, is shown in figure 1 1/ and Exhibit A, plate 53. 2/ During 1939-41 the Geological Survey made detailed geological studies of these deposits in the Uravan district, Montrose County, Colorado, as well as preliminary examinations in other parts of the Colorado Plateau vanadium region. In 1942 detailed geological studies were made o the deposits in the Egnar-Slick… more

Some Cases of Pile Activity Flattening

Description: Radial flattening of activity in the cores of spherical and cylindrical piles is discussed in connection with pile control and power improvement. Partial flattening as a result of k loss from temperature rise is also considered.

Propellers in yaw

Description: It was realized as early as 1909 that a propeller in yaw develops a side force like that of a fin. In 1917, R. G. Harris expressed this force in terms of the torque coefficient for the unyawed propeller. Of several attempts to express the side force directly in terms of the shape of the blades, however, none has been completely satisfactory. An analysis that incorporates induction effects not adequately covered in previous work and that gives good agreement with experiment over a wide range of … more

Studies on the Determination of Carbon by the Low Pressure Combustion Method

Description: Technical report: The apparatus for the low pressure combustion method of determining carbon in iron and steel has be redesigned to increase the speed of manipulation. It has been tested by running several thousand determinations and found to yield results in good agreement with Wooten's form of the apparatus. A detailed description of the equipment and its manipulation is given together with an account of experimental studies on the method. Results are also shown for the carbon content of c… more

Charts for calculation of the critical stress for local instability of columns with I-, Z-, channel and rectangular-tube section

Description: Report presenting charts for the calculation of the critical stress for local instability of columns with I-, Z-, channel-, and rectangular-tube sections. An experimental curve is included for use in taking into account the effect of stresses above the elastic range on 24S-T aluminum alloy elasticity.

A Comparative Study of the Effect of Wing Flutter Shape on the Critical Flutter Speed

Description: Report presenting a comparison of the results of calculations of the critical flutter speeds of nine uniform rectangular wings without ailerons by two methods: one in which the effect of the wing flutter shape is introduced indirectly by choosing mean values for the wing parameters and one that introduces an additional degree of freedom in the wing-bending flutter mode.

Critical shear stress of an infinitely long flat plate with equal elastic restraints against rotation along the parallel edges

Description: Report presenting a chart for the values of the coefficient in the formula for the critical shear stress at which buckling may be expected to occur in an infinitely long flat plate with parallel edges. An approximate method for the evaluation of the critical shear stress when the elastic restraints on the two parallel edges are not equal is also presented.

Critical stress for an infinitely long flat plate with elastically restrained edges under combined shear and direct stress

Description: "A simple interaction curve is presented for evaluating the conditions of combined shear and direct stress under which an infinitely long, flat plate with equal elastic restraints against rotation along the edges will become unstable. The theoretical work that led to the interaction curve is presented in the form of appendixes" (p. 1).

Design criterions for the dimensions of the forebody of a long-range flying boat

Description: Report presenting a correlation of the gross-load coefficient and the forebody length-beam ratio for a limited number of present-day multiengine long-range flying boats for which the spray characteristics are known. Results indicate that the gross-load coefficient for comparable spray characteristics varies as the square of the forebody length-beam ratio.

The effect of the type of specimen on the shear strengths of driven rivets

Description: Report presenting tests of various types of riveted joint composed of 24S-T sheet and 1/8-inch A17S-T rivets in order to determine the effects of specimen type on shear strengths. The results indicated that there was only a slight variation in shear strength with considerable variation in the types of specimen.

Experimental Investigation of Entrance-Region Heat-Transfer Coefficients

Description: "Experimental results of tests made at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory are presented to show how heat-transfer coefficients can be increased by a method utilizing the high rate of heat transfer known to exist on any heat-transfer surface in the region adjacent to the edge on which the cooling or heating fluid impinges. The results show that, for the same pressure drop, the average surface heat-transfer.coefficient can be increased 50 to 100 percent when a cooling surface having a l… more
