An Analysis of Lateral Stability in Power-Off Flight With Charts for Use in Design

"The aerodynamic and mass factors governing lateral stability are discussed and formulas are given for their estimation. Relatively simple relationships between the governing factors and the resulting stability characteristics are presented. A series of charts is included with which approximate stability characteristics may be rapidly estimated" (p. 1).

A Theory for Primary Failure of Straight Centrally Loaded Columns (open access)

A Theory for Primary Failure of Straight Centrally Loaded Columns

"A theory of primary failure of straight centrally loaded columns is presented. It is assumed that the column cross section and the load are constant throughout the length. Primary failure is defined as any type of failure in which the cross sections are translated, rotated, or translated and rotated but not distorted in their own planes" (p. 141).
