Axial fatigue tests at zero mean stress of 24S-T and 75S-T aluminum-alloy strips with a central circular hole (open access)

Axial fatigue tests at zero mean stress of 24S-T and 75S-T aluminum-alloy strips with a central circular hole

From Summary: "Axial fatigue tests at zero mean stress have been made on 0.032- and 0.064-inch 24S-T and 0.032-inch 75S-T sheet-metal specimens 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 2 inches wide without a hole and with central holes giving a range of hole diameter D to specimen width W from 0.01 to 0.95. No systematic difference was noted between the results for the 0.032-inch and the 0.064-inch specimens although the latter seemed the more consistent. In general the fatigue strength based on the minimum section dropped sharply as the ration D/W was increased from zero to about 0.25. The plain specimens showed quite a pronounced decrease in fatigue strength with increasing width. The holed specimens showed only slight and rather inconclusive evidence of this size effect. The fatigue stress-concentration factor was higher for 75S-T than for 24S-T alloy. Evidence was found that a very small hole would not cause any reduction in fatigue strength."

Investigation of X24C-2 10-Stage Axial-Flow Compressor 3 - Surge Characteristics (open access)

Investigation of X24C-2 10-Stage Axial-Flow Compressor 3 - Surge Characteristics

Compressor operation at low air flows for a given speed is limited by unstable flow conditions, commonly called surge. An investigation of surge in centrifugal compressors (reference 1) showed that the pulsation of pressures and velocities occurred when the slope of the compressor characteristic curve was positive and that the magnitude and frequency, as well as the incidence of surge, depended on the capacity and resistance of the total system. Although the theory presented in reference 1 is applicable to axial-floe compressors, little experimental information is available on the surge characteristics of the individual stages of axial-flow compressors, or on the variation of the surge characteristics with operating conditions.

Compressible Flow Tables for Air (open access)

Compressible Flow Tables for Air

"A tabulation is presented of functions of the Mach number which are frequently used in high-speed aerodynamics. The tables include values of Mach number from 0 to 10.0 in increments of 0.01 and the functions are based on the assumption that air is a perfect gas having a specific-heat ratio of 1.400" (p. 1).

Structural and Thematic Development in the Novels of F. Scott Fitzgerald (open access)

Structural and Thematic Development in the Novels of F. Scott Fitzgerald

In dealing with the individual works, I have attempted to analyze the structural element first, and then to deduce the novel's meaning, or theme, making use, wherever it is possible, of the results of the analysis of structure. In addition, I have attempted to reveal the development of certain themes from one novel to another, and certain developments in characterization and general design. I have attempted to reveal the relationship of the structure and thematic aspects of the individual works to Fizgerald's work as a whole. Finally, I have attempted to demonstrate Fitzgerald's relationship with certain of this peers and forebears in the American novel.

Summary of Section Data on Trailing-Edge High-Lift Devices

"A summary has been made of available data on the characteristics of airfoil sections with trailing-edge high-lift devices. Data for plain, split, and slotted flaps are collected and analyzed. The effects of each of the variables involved in the design of the various types of flap are examined and, in cases where sufficient data are given, optimum configurations are deduced" (p. 1).

An Investigation of the Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 3/4-Scale Model of the EX-3 Pine-Cone-Head Pellet in the Langley High-Speed 7-by 10-Foot Wind Tunnel

"An investigation of the EX-3 pine-cone-head pellet was made in the Langley high-speed 7-by 10-foot wind tunnel to determine the static force and moment characteristics at high Mach numbers with the reference center of gravity located at 37.5 percent of the over-all length aft of the nose. For this center-of-gravity location there were no secondary trim positions, and the center-of-pressure position was not appreciably affected by Mach number" (p. 1).
