The Importance of Rigidity: Stiffness as an Element in Stressed‐Skin Construction
NOT so many years ago it used to be said that wing coverings carrying a proportion of the loads were “impossible” to stress. At the time it was said it was no doubt true and the…
Stiffness in Stressed Skins: A Method of Determining the Shear Rigidity from Experimental Data on Small Panels
E.H. AtkinTHE increasing operational speeds of the modern aeroplane have involved the designer of the aircraft structure in problems which necessitate the experimental determination or…
Ducted Radiators: The Theory of Low‐Velocity Cooling, with a Basis for Calculating the Drag
F.W. MeredithTHE drag of a cooling system may conveniently be divided into three categories:
Body and Tail Moments in Spin: The Importance of the Shape of the Cross‐Section of the Fuselage
H.B. IrvingIN the May, 1933, number of AIRCRAFT ENGINEERING there was published an article by Korvin‐Kroukovsky on the uncontrolled tail spin, in which one of the main points put forward was…
Alloy Tubes for Aeroplanes: A Detailed Practical Description of the Processes of Manufacture
Gilbert EvansMINIMUM weight with no decrease of strength is the maxim governing the specifications to which seamless alloy‐tubes and sections, used in the construction oi aeroplanes, are made…
Fabric in Shear: An Instructive Experiment in Connexion with the Theory of Thin Sheets in Spar Webs
A THEORY for the use of thin sheets in spar webs is that the shear is carried by a diagonal tension stress combined with a compressive stress in vertical stiffeners.
Centreless Internal Grinding: A Machine that by Introducing a New Principle Revolutionised Methods of Boring
PERIODICALLY there are announced machine tools that are so radically different and distinctive in their functions from the usual practice, that they create a new method or…
