A method of finding the fiexural axis of unsymmetrical thin-walled sections is described that not only obviates the necessity for first finding the principal axes of inertia, but also simplifies the wtlole procedure.
A general method (requiring the aid of a digital computer) is described for deriving the influence coefficients of any type of wing, and hence for evaluating its strength and stiffness characteristics. The method allows ...
This note shows how the Hill Aero-isoclinic Principle works out in practice for a swept wing, fixed at the root and having straight flexural and inertia axes. The conditions assumed are readily represented in a wind-tunnel ...
This report is a sequel to previous work by Williams, Starkey and Taylor (R. & M. 2098) and by Williams and Fine (R. & M. 2099) and treats the problem of the stress distribution in a stringer-reinforced cylindrical shell ...
