Analysis of flight-determined and predicted effects of flexibility on the steady-state wing loads of the B-52 airplane

From Introduction: "This paper presents the results obtained during the phase of the B-52 flight investigation concerned with the steady-state wing loads. Where possible, the effects of Mach number and flexibility on the measured load are analyzed and presented."

Analysis of Wing Loads on a Flexible Swept-Wing Jet Bomber During Push-Pull Maneuvers (open access)

Analysis of Wing Loads on a Flexible Swept-Wing Jet Bomber During Push-Pull Maneuvers

Report presenting measurements of the loads of the wing of a Boeing B-47A medium bomber using strain-gage instrumentation during 23 symmetrical push-pull maneuvers at a variety of altitudes, Mach numbers, and gross weights. Time histories of aerodynamic shear, bending moment, and torque at each of four spanwise stations on the left wing and one on the right wing were created. Based on the results, presently available methods seem to be capable of predicting additional and basic loads accurately within the range of flight conditions in the test.
