It was found possible to produce fatigue failure in the blades of a J‐47 jet engine compressor after a comparatively short running period. An analysis was then made to determine…

Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences Annual Meeting: Summaries of Papers Presented to the 23rd Annual General Meeting Held in New York on January 24–27, 1955

There are three lateral dynamic attitudes, delineated by rolling, yawing, and sideslipping. It is possible to solve for the pressures on the rolling wing by quasi‐steady analysis…

Energy Theorems and Structural Analysis: A Generalized Discourse with Applications on Energy Principles of Structural Analysis Including the Effects of Temperature and Non‐Linear Stress‐Strain Relations Part I. General Theory

J.H. Argyris

THE application of the general theory with displacements as unknowns to frameworks—both of the pin‐jointed and stiff‐jointed type—is straightforward. For the stiff‐jointed system…

The Library Shelf

The author has prepared this book with the object of aiding the engineer or technician confronted with the problem of joining two metals, by helping him to choose the correct type…

A Constant Frequency System for Aircraft Electrical Supplies: Details of the English Electric Sundstrand Hydro‐Mechanical Constant Speed Drive
