General equations for the stress analysis of rings

Description: In this report it is shown that the shear, axial force, and moment at one point in a simple ring subjected to any loading condition can be given by three independent equations involving certain integrals that must be evaluated regardless of the method of analysis used. It is also shown how symmetry of the ring alone or of the ring and the loading about 1 or 2 axes makes it possible to simplify the three equations and greatly reduces the number of integrals that must be evaluated.

Analysis of parameters for thrust control of a turbojet engine equipped with air-inlet throttle and variable-area exhaust nozzle

Description: From Introduction: "In this report, altitude, airplane velocity, exhaust-nozzle area, and turbine-inlet temperature were chosen and corresponding engine speed, fuel flow, and throttle pressure ratio were found. A detailed discussion of the engine analysis and the calculations used are presented in Appendix A. The derivations of the principal equations used are presented in appendix B."

Diffusion of Stack Gases in Very Stable Atmospheres: Case II

Description: In 1949 Barad presented two solutions to the general diffusion equation. Basic in both solutions is the assumption that in very stable atmospheres a point source may be replaced by a vertical area of uniform concentration at a short distance downwind. This vertical area is considered to exist at the distance at which the plume finally "levels-off" and assumes a flat ribbon-like appearance. In addition if the distance over which diffusion takes place is limited to one or two miles and if only… more

Dynamics of Stagewise Extraction Columns

Description: A calculation method has been developed in order to correlate continuous-flow extraction results in mixer-settlers with rate data for batch experiments. This correlation utilizes dynamic extraction coefficients (E's) that are calculated from the rate data and the equilibrium extraction coefficients. The dynamic coefficients may then be used in stage-by-stage calculations, or their average values used in equations derived herein from the overall performance of center-fed columns.

Free-Flight Longitudinal-Stability Investigation Including Some Effects of Wing Elasticity From Mach Numbers of 0.85 to 1.34 of a Tailless Missile Configuration Having a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing of Aspect Ratio 5.5

Description: Report presenting a free-flight longitudinal-stability investigation between Mach numbers of 0.85 and 1.34 to obtain the aerodynamic characteristics of a long-range, jet-propelled, ground-to-ground missile with a wing of aspect ratio 5.5, 45 degrees of sweepback, and taper ratio 0.4 on a body with a vertical tail. Two models with two different wing materials were flown. Results regarding trimmed flight, pitching flight, and aeroelastic calculations are provided.

Longitudinal Flight Characteristics of the Bell X-5 Research Airplane at 59 Degree Sweepback With Modified Wing Roots

Description: "In an attempt to improve the longitudinal stability characteristics of the Bell X-5 research airplane at 59 degrees sweepback, the wing-root leading edge was modified by replacing the original 52.5 degrees sweptback leading-edge fillets with rounded leading-edge fillets. The data obtained show that the longitudinal stability characteristics, as well as the buffet and drag characteristics, were unaffected by the modification" (p. 1).

A Study of Efficiencies and Pressure Drop Characteristics of Air-Filtering Media

Description: Removal of particles from air is discussed in terms of three classes of filtering media--air-sampling, respirator, and air-cleaning. Plots of efficiency versus filtering velocity are presented. The pressure drop characteristics of the filters are discussed in terms of initial pressure drops of the clean filters, variations in pressure drop of the individual filters, and comparison of loading rates.

Additional Results on the Static Longitudinal and Lateral Stability Characteristics of a 0.05-Scale Model of the Convair F2Y-1 Airplane at High Subsonic Speeds

Description: "Additional results on the static longitudinal and lateral stability characteristics of a 0.05-scale model of the Convair F2Y-1 water-based fighter airplane were obtained in the Langley high-speed 7- by 10-foot tunnel over a Mach number range of 0.50 to 0.92. The maximum angle-of-attack range (obtained at the lower Mach numbers) was from -2 degrees to 25 degrees. The sideslip-angle range investigated was from -4 degrees to 12 degrees" (p. 1).

Energetic Neutral Injection into Thermonuclear Machines

Description: Abstract: "A scheme is discussed in which D+ ions would be accelerated to about 100 kev in a conventional accelerator, then be sent through a gas target frmo which about half the ions would emerge neutral with very little scattering or energy loss; the neutral beam would then cross into a magnetic field and part of the atoms would be ionized and trapped by colliding with the already trapped ions. The smallest mirror machine with a central field of 30-40 kilogauss, 2;1 mirror ratio and β = 01 to… more
