R. Tourret, Norman WhiteDESPITE the quite extensive literature on foam, the mechanism of its formation and decay does not appear to be widely appreciated. Most fundamental research has been orientated…
A Simplified Method of Measuring Take‐off Distances: Analysis of F. 47 Take‐off Camera Films Made Less Laborious as a Result of the Use of Runways
G.C. AbelThe standard method of analysing F.47 take‐off camera films, described in reference 1, is very laborious. It was developed for use when take‐offs were not normally made from…
High Temperature Propellent Reactions: The Determination of the Thermodynamic Properties of their Gaseous Products for use in Heat Engine Calculations
F.E. OsborneAT temperatures below some 2,000°K. the significant end‐products of technically important reactions involving propellents of molecular forms compounded of C, H, O and N atoms are…
Turbine Stresses in Aero‐Engines: A paper read before the Society for Experimental Stress Analysis of Cambridge, Mass., U.S.A., on November 30, 1951
D.A. DrewAS a member of a Rolls‐Royce team of engineers I have been engaged upon the study of the cause of turbine blade failure on the test‐bed and in flight, but I should like to mention…
The Effect of Moisture Content on the Tensile Strength of Sitka Spruce: A Report on Research Carried Out on Aircraft Quality Sitka Spruce
W.T. CurryIT is well known that the strength properties of timber arc affected by the amount of moisture it contains. This effect has been investigated comprehensively for the strength…
