Effect of Variation in Diameter and Pitch of Rivets on Compressive Strength of Panels With Z-Section Stiffeners 1 - Panels With Close Stiffener Spacing That Fail by Local Buckling (open access)

Effect of Variation in Diameter and Pitch of Rivets on Compressive Strength of Panels With Z-Section Stiffeners 1 - Panels With Close Stiffener Spacing That Fail by Local Buckling

An experimental investigation is being conducted to determine the effect of varying the rivet diameter and pitch on the compressive strength of 24S-T aluminum-alloy panels with longitudinal Z-section stiffeners. The average stress at failing load for each rivet diameter, depth of countersink, and pitch of rivet is provided

Computation of the Mean Tangential Velocity of the Air Leaving the Blade Tips of a Centrifugal Supercharger (open access)

Computation of the Mean Tangential Velocity of the Air Leaving the Blade Tips of a Centrifugal Supercharger

Report discusses the differences between the mean tangential velocity of the air leaving the blade tips of a centrifugal supercharger calculated by the conventional turbine equation and by an equation that uses the isentropic increase in total enthalpy. The velocities are compared to experimental values observed with three diffusers.
