The critical velocity of a body towed by a cable from an airplane

Description: It is sufficient to consider only the equations of motion of the towed body whereas those of the cable may be left out of consideration. The result obtained makes it possible to determine which factors affect the critical velocity and what modifications of the instrument are necessary for extending the upper limit of that velocity.

Investigation of the Variations in the Velocity of the Air Flow About a Wing Profile

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation to determine the variations in the velocity of the air when it was obliged to flow about a wing profile. Special interest was paid to the determination of velocity as compared with that of the undisturbed flow and of the velocity drop in successive planes perpendicular to the flow direction at increasing distances from the wing profile.

Principal Effects of Axial Load on Moment-Distribution Analysis of Rigid Structures

Description: "This thesis presents the method of moment distribution modified to include the effect of axial load upon the bending moments. This modification makes it possible to analyze accurately complex structures, such as rigid fuselage trusses, that heretofore had to be analyzed by approximate formulas and empirical rules. The method is simple enough to be practicable even for complex structures, and it gives a means of analysis for continuous beams that is simpler than the extended three-moment equati… more
