A program to develop a 250 square foot roll-up solar array with a power-to-weight ratio exceeding 30 watts per pound is described. The system design and fabrication of a full scale engineering development model are discussed. The system and development test program results are presented. Special test equipment and test procedures are included, together with comparisons of experimental and analytical results.
Equations of lifting entry are considered for fixed-angle-of-attack vehicular motion with path control for roll modulation of lift. Attention is directed to relocation and its consequences for the fixed-angle-of-attack atmospheric entry problem. Two reduced-order methods for working with the resulting system of equations are briefly examined. The methods are deemed to warrant further study.
Auto-vacuum cleaning technique was applied to titanium parts prior to welding. This provides oxide-free welding surfaces. Diffusion welding can be accomplished in as little as five minutes of hot pressing. Roll welding can be accomplished with only ten percent deformation.
Analysis was made to determine correlation between number and size of carbide particles and rolling-element fatigue. Correlation was established, and carbide factor was derived that can be used to predict fatigue life more effectively than such variables as heat treatment, chemical composition, and hardening mechanism.
A mathematical model enabling the relation of electrical contact occurrences between rolling surfaces to the mean thickness of an elastohydrodynamic lubricant film is discussed. A previous development by other authors is shown to contain an error invalidating their results. Some potentially useful approximations are developed for the case when the lubricant film is large with respect to the surface roughness. Complete solutions that are valid for all film thicknesses are not yet available.
A simple form is presented of the relationships for the inviscid, fully developed structure of lift-generated vortices behind aircraft wings. The method is then extended to arbitrary span-load distributions by inferring guidelines for the selection of rollup centers for the vortex sheet, along with rules for calculating the fully developed structure of the resulting multiple vortices. These techniques yield realistic estimates of the rolled-up structure of vortices produced by a wider variety of span-load distributions than possible with the original form of the theory.
The use of liquid hydrogen to cool the rolling element radial bearings in the nuclear engine for rocket vehicles is discussed. The fifteen hour service life goal was obtained during the tests. The increase in bearing life was also considered to be produced by: (1) improvements in bearing material, (2) bearing retainer configuration and manufacturing changes, and (3) better control of operating parameters.
