An Analysis of the Effects of Aeroelasticity on Static Longitudinal Stability and Control of a Swept-Wing Airplane

Description: From Introduction: "The results of the aforementioned study are presented in this report together with the method of analysis employed. The net stability change is shown together with the individual contributions due to flexibility of wing, tail, and fuselage, both including and neglecting the effect of inertial loads."

Calculation of the Bending Stresses in Helicopter Rotor Blades

Description: A comparatively rapid method is presented for determining theoretically the bending stresses of helicopter rotor blades in forward flight. The method is based on the analysis of the properties of a vibrating beam, and its uniqueness lies in the simple solution of the differential equation which governs the motion of the bent blades.

Canning depleted uranium : production test 313-110-M, final report

Description: From summary: "Uranium billets deficient in U235 were subjected to the normal successive steps in the slug fabrication process; viz., rolling, machining, and canning. No unusual behavior was observed at any point in the process, thus indicating that the depleted metal from the standpoint of mechanical properties can be considered equivalent to normal uranium."

Characteristics of flow over inclined bodies of revolution

Description: From Summary: "Experimental force, moment, and center-of-pressure variations for a large number of bodies of revolution have been compared with the calculated characteristics based on the approximate theory developed in NACA-RM-A9I26. The bodies varied in fineness ratio from 4.5 to 21.1, from blunt unboattailed bodies to airship hulls, and the experimental results are given for widely varying Mach number ranges of angle of attack. It is shown that the lift and drag characteristics are fairly ac… more

Coolant-Flow Calibrations of Three Simulated Porous Gas-Turbine Blades

Description: "An investigation was conducted at the NACA Lewis laboratory to determine whether simulated porous gas-turbine blades fabricated by the Eaton Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, Ohio would be satisfactory with respect to coolant flow for application in gas-turbine engines. These blades simulated porous turbine blades by forcing the cooling air onto the blade surface through a large number of chordwise openings or slits between laminations of sheet metal or wire. This type of surface has a finit… more

Critical Velocities of Ultracentrifuges

Description: The Euler equations for the rotation of a solid body are applied to the problem of the motion of ultracentrifuges. Particular attention is paid to the problem of the passage of an ultracentrifuge rotor through the critical velocity. The factors that affect the passage of rotors through the critical point are stressed.

Data Relating to Hanford Mined Graphite (2273-D) Samples Annealed at NAA

Description: On 2/8/1950, there was mined from process tube 2273 in D pile at Hanford a quantity of graphite power, which was expected to show the most extensive radiation damage of any graphite available at that time. A series of samples of this powder were annealed in 100 degrees increments from 100 degrees to 2000 degrees C at this labaoratory. There were returned to Hanford and shipped by them to the National Bureau of Standards for total stored energy measurements. The present memorandum is comprised o… more

DR Pile lattice conductance study

Description: The start-up of the DR Pile at a time when every effort was being made to increase the power levels of the older piles, suggested the possibility of studying, during the early damage period, some of the conditions which were limiting the operating levels of the old piles. Of the operational limitations restricting the power level of the old piles, the maximum graphite temperature is the most severe and actually determines the operating level of the B, D, and F Piles and, to some extent, the H P… more
