The Effect of Streamlining the Aterbody of an N.A.C.A. Cowling (open access)

The Effect of Streamlining the Aterbody of an N.A.C.A. Cowling

Report presenting an investigation of the drag and power cost associated with the changing of the nose of a nacelle from a streamline shape to a conventional cowling shape. Full-scale propellers and nacelles were used. The results of the tests showed that the streamline afterbody drag approached that of an airship form and that the added drag due to the open-nose cowling was only a quarter of the drag increase obtained with the other afterbody.

Pressure-Distribution Measurements on a Rectangular Wing With a Partial-Span Split Flap in Curved Flight (open access)

Pressure-Distribution Measurements on a Rectangular Wing With a Partial-Span Split Flap in Curved Flight

"Pressure-distribution tests were made on the 32-foot whirling arm of the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute of a rectangular wing of NACA 23012 section to determine the rolling and the yawing moment due to angular velocity in yaw. The model was tested at 0 and 5 degree pitch; 0, +/- 5, and +/- 10 degrees yaw; and with no flap and with split flaps 25, 50 and 75 percent of the wing span and deflected 60 degrees. The results are given in the form of span load distributions and as calculated moment coefficients" (p. 1).

Local instability of columns with I-, Z-, channel, and rectangular-tube sections (open access)

Local instability of columns with I-, Z-, channel, and rectangular-tube sections

From Summary: "Charts are presented for the coefficients in the formulas for the critical compressive stress at which cross-sectional distortion begins in thin-wall columns of I-, Z-, channel, and rectangular-tube sections. The energy method of Timoshenko was used in the theoretical calculations required for the construction of the charts. The deflection equations were carefully selected to give good accuracy. The calculation of the critical compressive stress at stresses above the elastic range is briefly discussed in order to demonstrate the use of the formulas and the charts in engineering calculations. Two illustrative problems are included."

A Recurrence Formula for Shear-Lag Problems (open access)

A Recurrence Formula for Shear-Lag Problems

"The analysis of the bending action in box beams with appreciable shear deformation of the flanges becomes very difficult in the general case of variable cross section and loading. This paper presents a convenient method of solving the problem by the familiar method of dividing the beam into a number of bays that can be assumed to have constant cross section and loading. Application of formerly derived shear-lag formulas leads to a general equation closely analogous in form to the well-known three-moment equation" (p. 1).

Stress concentration around an open circular hole in a plate subjected to bending normal to the plane of the plate (open access)

Stress concentration around an open circular hole in a plate subjected to bending normal to the plane of the plate

"An aluminum-alloy plate containing an open circular hole of diameter large compared with the thickness of the plate was subjected to bending forces normal to the plane of the plate. Deflection and strain measurements were taken for two different loads. Stress concentrations occurred at the edge of the hole and the maximum stresses were tangential to the hole at the ends of the transverse diameter. The maximum stress at the edge of the hole was 1.59 times the computed stress on the net section and 1.85 times the computed stress in a solid plate of the same dimensions subjected to the same bending forces" (p. 1).

Observations in Flight of the Region of Stalled Flow Over the Blades of an Autogiro Rotor (open access)

Observations in Flight of the Region of Stalled Flow Over the Blades of an Autogiro Rotor

"The flow over the inner halves of the rotor blades on a Kellet YG-1B autogiro was investigated in flight by making camera records of the motion of silk streamers attached to the upper surfaces of the blades. These records were analyzed to determine the boundaries of the region within which the flow over the blade sections was stalled for various tip-speed ratios. For the sake of comparison, corresponding theoretical boundaries were obtained. Both the size of the stalled area and its rate of growth with increasing tip-speed ratio were found to be larger than the theory predicted, although experiment agreed with theory with regard to shape and general location of the stalled area" (p. 1).
