Lift and moment responses to penetration of sharp-edged traveling gusts, with application to penetration of weak blast waves (open access)

Lift and moment responses to penetration of sharp-edged traveling gusts, with application to penetration of weak blast waves

Report presenting calculations of the lift and moment responses to penetration of sharp-edged traveling gusts for wings in incompressible and supersonic two-dimensional flow, for wide delta and rectangular wings in supersonic flow, and for very narrow delta wings. The results of the calculations indicate that the forward speed of the gusts has a large effect on the lift- and moment-response functions.

On flow of electrically conducting fluids over a flat plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field (open access)

On flow of electrically conducting fluids over a flat plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field

Report presenting a study of the use of a magnetic field to control the motion of electrically conducting fluids. Results indicated that the skin friction and heat-transfer rate are reduced when the transverse magnetic field is fixed relative to the plate and increased when fixed relative to the fluid.

Origin and Prevention of Crash Fires in Turbojet Aircraft (open access)

Origin and Prevention of Crash Fires in Turbojet Aircraft

The manner in which the jet engine may start a crash fire was explored in test-stand and full-scale crash studies. On the basis of these studies, a method was devised for inserting and cooling the engine parts that may serve as ignition sources in crash. This method was tried successfully in full-scale crashes of jet-powered airplanes carrying engines in pod nacelles and engines buried within the airplane structure.

Perforated sheets as the porous material for a suction-flap application (open access)

Perforated sheets as the porous material for a suction-flap application

Two-dimensional tests were made of an NACA 0006 airfoil with area suction applied to a porous region on a 0.3-chord trailing-edge flap deflected 50 degrees. The lift with suction approached the value computed from thin-airfoil theory. The lift gains and suction quantity requirements were unaffected by the perforation patterns of the surface over a wide range of hole sizes and spacings.

A phenomenological relation between stress, strain rate, and temperature for metals at elevated temperatures (open access)

A phenomenological relation between stress, strain rate, and temperature for metals at elevated temperatures

Report presenting a phenomenological relation between stress, strain rate, and temperature to account for the behavior of polycrystalline metals above the equicohesive temperature. This is because the behavior of metals at elevated temperatures is constantly becoming a more important problem. The validity of the relation suggested in the equation appears to be accurate for 7075-T6 aluminum alloy.

RATE OF GROWTH OF DIFFUSION LAYERS IN U-Al AND U-AlSi COUPLES

The rates of growth of diffusion layers between U and Al and between U and AlSi alloy (eutectic composition) were studied and compared over the temperature range 250 to 55O deg C. Metallographic observation shows that the U-- Al reaction layers form three to five times as fast as the U-- AlSi layers over this temperature range. Sixty per cent of the layer growth takes place in the Al or AlSi alloy and 40% in U. (auth)
