Mechanical Properties of Zirconium and Zirconium-Uranium Alloys Containing Tin

Description: Abstract: "The mechanical properties of a large number of zirconium alloys have been investigated. These alloys include zirconium-tin and zirconium-tin-uranium. Tensile tests have been run on these alloys at room temperature, 500 F, and 600 F. Hot-hardness data have been obtained from room temperature to 1600 F, with particular emphasis on the hot-rolling range. Creep tests and fatigue tests have been run on a number of zirconium-tin alloys at 500 F."

Procedure for calculating turbine blade temperatures and comparison of calculated with observed values for two stationary air-cooled blades

Description: Report presenting an investigation for stationary turbine blades with 10 tubes and 13 fins forming the internal heat-transfer surfaces in order to accurately predict local turbine blade temperatures. Results regarding the comparison of calculated and measured midchord blade temperatures, comparison of calculated and measured temperatures near blade trailing edge, comparison of calculated and measured temperatures near the blade leading edge, the influence of errors in calculated temperatures on… more

Performance characteristics of canard-type missile with vertically mounted nacelle engines at Mach numbers 1.5 to 2.0

Description: Report of an investigation of the overall performance characteristics of a complete missile configuration in the 8- by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel at several Mach numbers, angles of attack, canard-control-surface deflections, and a designated Reynolds number based on wing mean aerodynamic chord. The investigation showed that at a Mach number of 2.0, the addition of engines to a no-engine configuration increased drag and moved the aerodynamic center rearward but produced little additional lift… more

A Study of the Application of Power-Spectral Methods of Generalized Harmonic Analysis to Gust Loads on Airplanes

Description: "The applicability of some results from the theory of generalized harmonic analysis (or power-spectral analysis) to the analysis of gust loads on airplanes in continuous rough air is examined. The general relations for linear systems between power spectrums of a random input disturbance and an output response are used to relate the spectrum of airplane load in rough air to the spectrum of atmospheric gust velocity. The power spectrum of loads is shown to provide a measure of the load intensity … more
