Shock Waves in Compressible Flow: An Outline of the Phenomena Occurring in the Trans‐Sonic Speed Range
D.M. DaviesTHE earlier classical treatises on aerodynamics concerned themselves with the properties of incompressible fluids. The theory developed on this basis gave an excellent theoretical…
Simplified Statics: A Note on Graphical and Kinematic Methods of Solution
R. HadekelTHIS article has been suggested by an actual problem in undercarriage work, and this problem is used as an illustration.
A Buckling Problem: A Beam Resting on a Continuous Elastic Foundation with Concentrated Elastic End Supports
J. RatzersdorferIF a beam is laterally resting on a continuous elastic foundation then it is usually assumed in the technical literature that the intensity of lateral pressure p(u) is…
Graphical Method of Determining the Deflexion of Laterally Loaded Struts
N.A. TownsendTHE solution of the differential equations for the varied cases of laterally loaded struts present arithmetical difficulties particularly as the number of the integration…
Stress Diffusion Problems
W.J. GoodeyTHE case to be investigated is shown diagrammatically in fig. 8 (a). In practice, it represents the top or bottom panels of a two‐spar skin‐covered wing, where the front and rear…
