  • Note on the Distortion Characteristics of Swept and Cranked Wings in Relation to Flutter and Other Aeroelastic Phenomena

  • D. Williams
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    28 July 2016, pp. 116-125

  • The parts played by calculation, and by resonance tests on simplified scale models, in obtaining the normal modes of an aeroplane with wings of unorthodox plan forms are discussed on the basis that the normal modes are the best means of defining the elastic-inertia characteristics of an aircraft for the purpose of flutter investigations.

    Methods of simplifying the model for ease and cheapness of construction are put forward.

    The radical difference between the effects of shear-lag and of ordinary bending-shear flexibility is described, and an approximate method of allowing for the latter effect is indicated.

  • A Note on the Buckling of Struts

  • Harold Lurie
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    28 July 2016, pp. 181-184

  • Invariably the texts in elasticity and strength of materials derive the stability criteria for struts by first setting up the beam bending moment equation. Together with suitable boundary conditions this equation is then solved as an eigenvalue problem for non-zero solutions. It is indicated here that in general this procedure is too limited, both physically and mathematically, and that in some cases the correct approach yields additional results which normally would not become evident by employing the classical method.
