Handbook of Structural Stability Part 2: Buckling of Composite Elements
"The local buckling of stiffener sections and the buckling of plates with sturdy stiffeners are reviewed, and the results are summarized in charts and tables. Numerical values of buckling coefficients are presented for longitudinally compressed stiffener sections of various shapes, for stiffened plates located in longitudinal compression and in shear, and for stiffened cylinders loaded in torsion. Although the data presented consist primarily of elastic-buckling coefficients, the effects of plasticity are discussed for a few special cases" (p. 1).

Investigation of a 0.6 Hub-Tip Radius-Ratio Transonic Turbine Designed for Secondary-Flow Study 2 - Design and Experimental Performance of Turbine With Low-Velocity-Turning Stator and Standard Rotor
Memorandum presenting a low-velocity-turning stator designed to reduce secondary-flow loss cores by turning the flow at low velocities and accelerating it in passages of constant flow angle with reduced cross-channel pressure gradients. Performance of the stator was determined with static-pressure measurements and detailed surveys of total pressure and flow angle made with the turbine operating at design speed near design work.

Aerodynamic Loads on Tails at High Angles of Attack and Sideslip
"Results are presented for the loads and moments acting on the individual tail surfaces of a body-tail combination over a wide range of angles of attack and sideslip. The effects of forebody length and panel-panel interference on the characteristics are included. It is shown that large nonlinear variations in these loads and moments, which occur at some combinations of angle of attack and sideslip, cannot be predicted by low-angle theory" (p. 1).

Calculation of External-Store Loads and Correlation With Experiment
Memorandum presenting a theory for evaluating the mutual interference between a wing and tip tank as extended to apply to store-pylon configurations. By using the theory and the flow-field formulas of a previous report, theoretical store-pylon side-force estimates have been made for a number of store-pylon configurations. Results regarding the theory for store-pylon side force, scope of test configurations, contribution of store and pylon to combined load, effect of store spanwise location on the store-pylon side-force coefficient, effect of pylon sweep and store chordwise location, effect of sideslip on the store-pylon side-force coefficient, effect of fins on store side-force coefficient, and interference effects between inboard and outboard stores are provided.

The minimization of wave drag for wings and bodies with given base area or volume
"The minimization of wave drag for thin aerodynamic shapes carrying no lift is studied for conditions under which either base area or volume is specified. When volume alone is given, the analysis is limited to shapes with straight trailing edges normal to the stream direction. The problem of minimization is reduced to one of finding a two-dimensional harmonic function with known boundary conditions" (p. 1).

Elliptic Cones Alone and with Wings at Supersonic Speed
"To help fill the gap in the knowledge of aerodynamics of shapes intermediate between bodies of revolution and flat triangular wings, force and moment characteristics for elliptic cones have been experimentally determined for Mach numbers of 1.97 and 2.94. Elliptic cones having cross-sectional axis ratios from 1 through 6 and with lengths and base areas equal to circular cones of fineness ratios 3.67 and 5 have been studied for angles of bank of 0 degree and 90 degrees. Elliptic and circular cones in combination with triangular wings of aspect ratios 1 and 1.5 also have been considered" (p. 975).

The Frequency Content of the Control Input and Airplane Response Obtained During Service Operations of Fighter Airplanes
"The frequency content of the control input and resulting airplane motions is presented as power spectral densities for one operational flight of the fighter airplane (Republic F-84G). The frequency content, which is described by the shape of the spectrum, may be useful in providing inputs for the design of power control systems. For normal load factors, the results presented for the operational flight considered are in general agreement with the results of more complete data on three fighter airplanes (Republic F-84G, Republic F-84F, and North American F-86A)" (p. 1).

Experimental investigation of effects of moderate sideslip on the flow fields near a 45 degree swept-wing-fuselage combination at low speed
The flow fields near a 45 degree swept-wing-fuselage combination at moderate angles of sideslip (plus-or-minus 8 degrees), as determined experimentally at low speed, are presented as variations with chordwise distance for various spanwise and vertical locations and angles of attack. The results indicated that for positions close to the fuselage (on and near the plane of symmetry) changes in the angle of sideslip caused large changes in the flow-field characteristics and particularly in the local angles of sideslip, which in some cases were nearly double the static angle of sideslip.

Preliminary Internal Performance Data for a Variable-Ejector Assembly on the XJ79-GE-1 Turbojet Engine, 2, Afterburning Configurations
Internal performance of an XJ79-GE-1 variable ejector was experimentally determined with the primary nozzle in two representative after-burning positions. Jet-thrust and air-handling data were obtained in quiescent air for 4 selected ejector configurations over a wide range of secondary to primary airflow ratios and primary-nozzle pressure ratios. The experimental ejector data are presented in both graphical and tabulated form.

Reflection and Refraction of Acoustic Waves by a Shock Wave
"The presence of sound waves in one or the other of the fluid regions on either side of a shock wave is made apparent, in the region under superpressure, by acoustic waves (reflected or refracted according to whether the incident waves lie in the region of superpressure or of subpressure) and by thermal waves. The characteristics of these waves are calculated for a plane, progressive, and uniform incident wave. In the case of refraction, the refracted acoustic wave can, according to the incidence, be plane, progressive, and uniform or take the form of an 'accompanying wave' which remains attached to the front of the shock while sliding parallel to it" (p. 1).

Performance Evaluation of Reduced-Chord Rotor Blading as Applied to J73 Two-Stage Turbine
"The multistage turbine from the J73 turbojet engine has previously been investigated with standard and with reduced-chord rotor blading in order to determine the individual performance characteristics of each configuration over a range of over-all pressure ratio and speed. Because both turbine configurations exhibited peak efficiencies of over 90 percent, and because both units had relatively wide efficient operating ranges, it was considered of interest to determine the performance of the first stage of the turbine as a separate component. Accordingly, the standard-bladed multistage turbine was modified by removing the second-stage rotor disk and stator and altering the flow passage so that the first stage of the unit could be operated independently" (p. 1).

Effects of airplane flexibility on wing bending strains in rough air
"Some results on the effects of wing flexibility on wing bending strains as determined from flight tests of a Boeing B-29 and a Boeing B-47A airplane in rough air are presented. Results from an analytical study of the flexibility effects on the B-29 wing strains are compared with the experimental results. Both the experimental and calculated results are presented as frequency-response functions of the bending strains at various spanwise wing stations to gust disturbances. In addition, some indirect evidence of the effect of spanwise variations in turbulence on the response of the B-47A airplane is presented" (p. 1).
