A correlation of loadings and afterbody length-beam ratios of various flying-boat hulls (open access)

A correlation of loadings and afterbody length-beam ratios of various flying-boat hulls

"The gross weight, beam, and afterbody length of 12 contemporary flying boats and amphibians with pointed afterbodies are tabulated and correlated. For most of the hulls considered, the afterbody length-beam ratios are shown to be directly proportion to the gross-load coefficients" (p. 1).

Progress Report on Strength and Creep of Special Ceramic Bodies in Tension at Elevated Temperatures (open access)

Progress Report on Strength and Creep of Special Ceramic Bodies in Tension at Elevated Temperatures

Report presenting an investigation for the determination of the behavior of ceramic bodies in tension at elevated temperatures for the purpose of determining data for the design of ceramic blades for gas turbines. Observations were made of six special ceramic bodies in order to determine their tensile strength and creep during prolonged loading under a range of stresses and temperatures.
