Horizontal-Tail Parameters as Determined From Flight-Test Tail Loads on a Flexible Swept-Wing Jet Bomber

Description: Report presenting an analysis of horizontal-tail loads on a flexible multi-engined jet-propelled swept-wing medium bomber to determine the tail lift-curve slope due to tail angle of attack, tail-lift curve slope due to elevator deflection, tail pitching-moment coefficient due to elevator deflection, downwash factor, and elevator effectiveness factor. The effect of the stabilizer, effects of elevator flexibility, and effects of wing stability are presented.

Exceptional Ground Accelerations and Velocities Caused by Earthquakes

Description: This project aims to understand the characteristics of the free-field strong-motion records that have yielded the 100 largest peak accelerations and the 100 largest peak velocities recorded to date. The peak is defined as the maximum magnitude of the acceleration or velocity vector during the strong shaking. This compilation includes 35 records with peak acceleration greater than gravity, and 41 records with peak velocities greater than 100 cm/s. The results represent an estimated 150,000 instr… more
