The Alleviation of Thermal Stresses: The Influence of Surface Insulation on the Stresses Set Up When an Aircraft Undergoes a Change of External Temperature
E.W. ParkesThe following paper investigates the dependence of the thermal stresses which are set up when an aircraft suffers an external temperature change, upon the degree of insulation of…
Leading‐Edge Flaps and Variable Camber: Notes on Some Research Carried Out since 1945
AMONG the interesting features of the Handlcy Page Victor revealed in the official photographs are what appear to be leading‐edge flaps of considerable span. It can be seen (FIG…
The Library Shelf
A.R.C., R.M.The contributions which Prandtl has made to the science of fluid dynamics are so numerous and so important that any work from his pen on this subject must be keenly anticipated…
Laterally Loaded Non‐Uniform Struts: A Tabular Method Requiring only Arithmetical Calculation
W. GittlemanTHE bending moments in a strut with lateral loading can usually be found graphically by means of the Polar (Howard) Diagram, but with a strut of non‐uniform section and a complex…
