The mathematical model is obtained using classical plate theory and a two term binomial expansion of piston theory. The application of the boundary conditions gives rise to a complex eigenvalue problem which is thoroughly analyzed. An exact solution for the critical speeds is derived. I t is shown that the flutter speed can be closely approximated by a simple expression which also permits the evaluation of the effects of the pertinent design parameters. I t is also shown that the flutter speed of an orthotropic wing may be closely approximated by that of an isotropic wing with a different aspect ratio. The present investigation also extends the existing work of flutter of panels tha t are simply supported along all four edges to the orthotropic case.","PeriodicalId":336301,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Aerospace Sciences","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123029496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A hypervelocity gun facility was used to fire models, 0.22-in. in diameter, into a range at velocities from 10,000 to 17,000 ft/sec. Experiments were performed by changing: (a) the material of the projectile; (b) the ambient gas in the range; and (c) the pressure in the range. Three optical techniques were used to observe the wake radiation: (1) Direct photographs of the projectile and flow field in air, which show a turbulent viscous wake as the pressure in the range is decreased from one atmosphere to about 20 cm Hg. (2) Drum-camera photographs of the wake in air and argon, which show the luminous flow field a t pressures between 30 and 0.5 cm Hg. At 30 cm Hg the trail is characterized by the presence of short luminous streaks, which disappear suddenly as the pressure is decreased below 3 cm Hg for air, and below 0.8 cm Hg for argon. (3) Photomultiplier records taken through a thin slit with both air and argon, which show the main features of the flow field. Above the transition pressure, the intensity of radiation from the wake is always associated with fluctuations that appear to be the same phenomenon as the drum-camera streaks. The appearance of the streaks in the drum camera and photomultiplier data is interpreted as transition from laminar to turbulent flow in the viscous wake, because experimental evidence shows tha t their appearance is not controlled by chemical, radiative, or ablative processes, but depends on aerodynamic effects. This conclusion is supported by other experiments based on optical and schlieren techniques. The transition in the wake a t positions very close to the body is given by a local Reynolds number of 10 for air, and 3 X 10 for argon. The results indicate a possible local-Mach-number effect.

Two cases of loading are considered: (1) Sinusoidal loading. Two-term asymptotic solutions of Novozhilov's uncoupled second-order equations are obtained in terms of the equation of the generating curve. (2) Higher harmonic load distribution. The asymptotic solu tions for this case are shown to depend on a single second order differential equation. This equation may be solved exactly for three types of shells. For shells of slowly varying contour, an iterative method of solution is indicated. The asymptotic solutions are obtained by the use of smallparameter expansions and by the use of a standard method3 for the singular perturbation problem and are valid for nonshailow shells free of singularities . The series are truncated to two terms for all cases of loading. It is recommended that the second term be retained in the edge-effect solutions.","PeriodicalId":336301,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Aerospace Sciences","volume":"57 21","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114006262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These investigations require the use of the nonlinear relationships between the strains and curvatures and the displacements. For example, a very good approach to these problems is by means of the Rayleigh-Ritz technique. Using this technique one can readily avoid the solution of the difficult nonlinear differential equations by choosing combinations of deflection functions with undetermined coefficients which satisfy the boundary conditions exactly. The coefficients are then determined so as to make the total energy of the elastic system a minimum, thereby giving the best approximation—e.g., deflection, vibration frequency, buckling load—to the exact solution as is obtainable with the functions chosen. The strain energy stored in a shell is given by. 2","PeriodicalId":336301,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Aerospace Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126347657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
