Estimation of Lift and Drag of Airfoils at Near Sonic Speeds and in the Presence of Detached Shock Waves (open access)

Estimation of Lift and Drag of Airfoils at Near Sonic Speeds and in the Presence of Detached Shock Waves

Report presenting a semiempirical method of estimating the forces on airfoil at near sonic speeds and in the presence of detached shock waves. The calculated values were found to be in good agreement with wind-tunnel testing of the forces on sharp-nose airfoils and two-dimensional wings.

Wind-Tunnel investigation of NACA 65,3-418 airfoil section with boundary-layer control through a single suction slot applied to a plain flap (open access)

Wind-Tunnel investigation of NACA 65,3-418 airfoil section with boundary-layer control through a single suction slot applied to a plain flap

Report presenting an investigation in the two-dimensional low-turbulence tunnel of the NACA 65,3-418 airfoil section with a 25-percent-airfoil-chord plain flap and a suction slot on the flap. The primary purpose of the investigation is to determine the effect of the type of boundary-layer control on the section lift-drag ratio.

Tensile Elastic Properties of Typical Stainless Steels and Nonferrous Metals as Affected by Plastic Deformation and by Heat Treatment (open access)

Tensile Elastic Properties of Typical Stainless Steels and Nonferrous Metals as Affected by Plastic Deformation and by Heat Treatment

A general discussion is given of the relationships between stress, strain, and permanent set. From stress-set curves are derived proof stresses based on five different percentages of permanent set. The influence of prior plastic extension on these values is illustrated and discussed. A discussion is given of the influence of work-hardening, rest interval, and internal stress on the form of the proof stress-extension curve.
