Changes in acoustic properties of perforated plates resulting from interaction of flows normal and tangential to plate surface
Description of ion plating process is given. Advantage of this process is that any plating metal or alloy can be selected, whereas, for conventional welding, material selection is limited by compatability.
Program has been developed that analytically determines effects of nonuniform swash-plate support stiffness, swash-plate flexibility, and out-of-blade track on vibratory mechanical stability characteristics of helicopter rotor systems. Analysis is based on combined Laplace transform and associated matrix approach.
A method of reducing GEOS satellite plates is described. The catalog positions of stars, whose images were measured, are updated to the time of the photographic observation. The plate constants are used to compute the positions of the seven (or fewer) flashing light images which were measured. There are corrected for refraction, parallax, and radial and decentering lens distortions. With sidereally tracking cameras, the exterior orientation is further corrected to the time of the particular flash, and the change of refraction with time is allowed for. First and second differences and standard deviations and covariances for the flashing light images are developed as a measure of accuracy.
The analysis of hypervelocity impact of particles on a detector in space, with flow and shock penetration through fluid, plastic, and elastic zones was studied. The original paper and computer program on this topic is presented. Improvements in the program for the study of the formation of a cone of debris are discussed. The truncated apex of the cone is at the hole formed by the penetration of an initially spherical rock through a thin plate. A solution for the penetration of the thin plate was sought.
An analytical investigation of sinusoidally forced vibration of laminated, anisotropic plates including bending-stretching coupling, thickness-shear flexibility, all three types of inertia effects, and material damping is presented. In the analysis the effects of thickness-shear deformation are considered by the use of a shear correction factor K, analogous to that used by Mindlin for homogeneous plates. Two entirely different approaches for calculating the thickness-shear factor for a laminate are presented. Numerical examples indicate that the value of K depends on the layer properties and the stacking sequence of the laminate.
A theoretical study of the elastic stresses produced in an infinite plate when struck by a high-speed object is presented. The solution is obtained by means of linear elasticity. Laplace transformation techniques are employed to solve the axisymmetric problem. The plate is loaded normal to its surface with a uniform load over a circular area. The normal stress at the wave front of the unreflected dilatation wave along the axis and its variation with the radius of loading are determined. Various facets of the problem are discussed.
The problem of the finite stretching of an annular plate which is bonded to a rigid inclusion at its inner edge is considered. The material is assumed to be isotropic and incompressible with a Mooney-type constitutive law. It is shown that the inclusion of the effect of the transverse normal strain leads to a rapid variation in thickness which is confined to a narrow edge zone. The explicit solutions to the boundary layer equations, which govern the behavior of the plate near the edges, are presented.
The laminar two-dimensional flow over a stepwise accelerated flat plate moving with hypersonic speed at zero angle of attack is analysed. The governing equations in the self-similar form are linearized and solved numerically for small times. The solutions obtained are the deviations of the velocity and the temperature profiles from those of steady state. The presented results may be used to find the first order boundary layer induced pressure on the plate.
The analytical solution presented is based on the assumption that the deformed thickness of the plate is approximately constant. The nonlinear equations governing finite axisymmetric deformations of a circular plate made of neo-Hookean material are used in the analysis. The variation of circumferential extension ratio and the variation of deformed thickness are shown in graphs.
An analytical solution for radiation from a truncated parallel-plate waveguide into a dielectric or plasma slab is obtained by solving the Hilbert problem associated with a certain singular integral equation. The technique has the advantage that the edge condition is easily shown to be satisfied, and numerical results can be obtained with excellent accuracy. Numerical results are presented for a variety of dielectric and plasma slabs, parallel-plate separations, and aperture-to-slab distances.
A simple formula useful for predicting leakage through a circular hole array in a metallic flat plate is presented. A correction is given for plate thickness. The formula is applicable to arrays having either a 60-deg (staggered) or 90-deg (square) hole pattern, but is restricted to the case of (1) an obliquely incident plane wave with the E field polarized normal to the plane of incidence, and (2) large transmission loss. When theoretical values were compared to experimental data obtained on test samples having transmission losses greater than 20 dB, the agreement between theory and experiment was typically better than 1 dB at S band and 2 dB at X band.
Description of a simple and easily applied method of diffusion welding steel plate in air which does not require a vacuum furnace or hot press. The novel feature of the proposed welding method is that diffusion welds are made in air with deadweight loading. In addition, the use of an autogenous (self-generated) surface-cleaning principle (termed 'auto-vac cleaning') to reduce the effects of surface oxides that normally hinder diffusion welding is examined. A series of nine butt joints were diffusion welded in thick sections of AISI 1020 steel plate. Diffusion welds were attempted at three welding temperatures (1200, 1090, and 980 C) using a deadweight pressure of 34,500 N/sq m (5 psi) and a two-hour hold time at temperature. Auto-vac cleaning operations prior to welding were also studied for the same three temperatures. Results indicate that sound welds were produced at the two higher temperatures when the joints were previously fusion seal welded completely around the periphery. Also, auto-vac cleaning at 1200 C for 2-1/2 hours prior to diffusion welding was highly beneficial, particularly when subsequent welding was accomplished at 1090 C.
Solutions are given for several plane elastostatic problems of plates having a V-notch on one edge, and subjected to a variety of boundary conditions. The effect of the magnitude of the V-notch angle and specimen geometry on stress intensity factors KI and KII are obtained for unloaded notch surfaces. There is less than one per cent difference in opening model stress intensity factor in going from a zero degree notch angle to a 30 degree notch angle. Notch opening displacements at the plate edge were measured experimentally, and the results obtained were in excellent agreement with the computed results.
It is pointed out that the buckling problem of a plate with restrictions resulting from boundary conditions is suited for an application of Lagrangian multipliers. An approach used by Budiansky and Hu (1946) is extended to the study of orthotropic stiffened plates. The variations of the total energy with respect to the three deformation components are considered. The equilibrium equations and the boundary conditions are obtained. It is shown that the deflection functions must satisfy the equilibrium equations. The Lagrangian multipliers are then used to solve stability problems on the basis of the total energy involved, the equilibrium equations, and the boundary conditions. The theoretical analysis is supplemented by an experimental investigation.
Program handles several types of composites and several load conditions for each plate, both compressive or tensile membrane loads, and bending-stretching coupling via the concept of reduced bending rigidities. Vibration frequencies of homogeneous or layered anisotropic plates can be calculated by slightly modifying the program.
Plate is made of material having coefficient to thermal expansion similar to that of insulating material. Although plate may be formed from appropriate alloy, it has been found that a combination of graphite fibers in epoxy resin is satisfactory and much lighter in weight.
Plate, serving as heat pipe, can be built into cell to control temperature and water inventory. Plate consists of matrix, filled with liquid water, and a space, filled with water vapor. Both matrix and space extend beyond fuel-cell stack so heat and water may be removed as necessary.
