The effect of the type of specimen on the shear strengths of driven rivets (open access)

The effect of the type of specimen on the shear strengths of driven rivets

Report presenting tests of various types of riveted joint composed of 24S-T sheet and 1/8-inch A17S-T rivets in order to determine the effects of specimen type on shear strengths. The results indicated that there was only a slight variation in shear strength with considerable variation in the types of specimen.

Some Investigations of the General Instability of Stiffened Metal Cylinders 7: Stiffened Metal Cylinders Subjected to Combined Bending and Torsion (open access)

Some Investigations of the General Instability of Stiffened Metal Cylinders 7: Stiffened Metal Cylinders Subjected to Combined Bending and Torsion

"This report summarizes the work that has been carried on in the experimental investigation of the problem of the general instability of stiffened metal cylinders subjected to combined bending and torsion at the C.I.T. This part of the investigation included tests on 26 sheet-covered specimens. An interaction curve for the case of combined bending and torsion is presented. The results of tests of 17 specimens subjected to pure torsion are also given" (p. 1).

The effect of inlet-valve design, size, and lift on the air capacity and output of a four-stroke engine (open access)

The effect of inlet-valve design, size, and lift on the air capacity and output of a four-stroke engine

Report presenting a series of performance tests made with a CFR engine at constant inlet pressure and temperature and constant exhaust pressure. Special cylinder heads with different sizes and designs of inlet valve and port were used.

Part-Throttle Operation and Control of a Piston-Ported Two-Stroke Cylinder (open access)

Part-Throttle Operation and Control of a Piston-Ported Two-Stroke Cylinder

Report presenting a study of a single-cylinder piston-ported two-stroke engine in order to investigate means of obtaining reliable operation under idling conditions. The fuel-consumption characteristics were also studied over the useful range of speeds and loads. Results regarding illuminating gas, vaporized gasoline, gasoline injection, injected safety fuel, and brake specific fuel consumption are provided.
