Aero‐Elastic Problems

THE subject of aero‐elasticity, and in particular flutter, which is its largest and most complex branch, is one which the non‐specialist approaches with trepidation. Today…

Some Remarks on the Structural Analysis of Swept Wings: A Brief Account of a Method in which Swept Wings are Treated as Orthotropic Sandwich Plates

E. Terner

The problem of stress analysis of swept wings has been approached in different ways. Here a method is briefly surveyed in which swept structures are treated as orthotropic…

Modern Aircraft Cable Developments: A Survey of Electrical Cables Developed to Meet the Operating Conditions of Modern Aircraft

D.C. Hancock, T. Tunnicliff

IN consequence of the rapid progress in aircraft development in the past decade it has been necessary for cable manufacturers to provide an ever‐widening variety of cables to meet…

Thermo‐Elastic Similarity: A Further Contribution to the Bristol Conference on Thermal Stress Organized by the Institute of Physics

A.J. Sobey

MODEL practice is sufficiently established in scientific investigations for the recommendation of its use in thermal stress analysis to be almost unnecessary. However, some of the…

The Strength of Tubular Struts: Charts for the Graphical Solution of a Common Design Problem

R. Prizeman

Curves have been drawn to show the compressive (flexural instability) strength of tubes made from four materials in common use. Although these curves are subject to all the…

Under this heading are published regularly abstracts of all Reports and Memoranda of the Aeronautical Research Council, Reports and Technical Memoranda of the United States…

Investment Casting Practice: An Illustrated Description of Current Methods of Precision Casting Production

THE photographs reproduced on this and the following page show some of the main stages in the production of precision castings by the lost wax process, as carried out at the new…

Tools for the Workshop

This new form generator (FIG. 1) is based on the well‐known Pee‐Wce No. 3 thread rolling generator, by agreement with Pee‐Wee Maschinen. However, a number of modifications are…

Auxiliary Equipment

A rotary joint for hydraulic fluid lines has been developed by Dunlop's aviation division.

Month in the Patent Office

In a levered suspension undercarriage unit the lever‐arm carrying the landing wheel 15 has fork portions 13, 14, and the shock absorber 33 is mounted offset from the hub 12 and…
