A REPORT ON THREE SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS AND THE DESCRIPTION OF A SIMPLIFIED MODEL OF THE THIN WALL CYLINDER AND CONE BUCKLING MECHANISM

Three series of experiments were performed to investigate the nature of the buckling phenomenon. They were: a) influence of an increasing dimple on the buckling load of a cylinder; b) investigation of the strain distribution on one cylinder, after one or more waves were imposed on it; c) measurements of lateral deflections at buckling. The results of such experiments give some support to the idea of a buckling model, which can be of eventual interest to the thin wall cylinder and cone buckling problem, where a non-linear system (the buckled band) is considered in series with a linear system (the unbuckled portion of the cylinder, plus the testing-machine )

Experimental Data on Stagnation-Point Gas Injection Cooling on a Hemisphere-Cone in a Hypersonic Arc Tunnel

Exploratory tests were made to determine the reduction of heat transfer resulting from ejection of gases at the stagnation point on a hemisphere-cone at a nominal Mach number of about 9 and at stagnation enthalpies up to 1600 BTU per pound. Helium, nitrogen, and argon gases were used as coolants. The ratio of mass flow of coolant to the mass flow of air swept out by the model projected area was less than 0.20 in all cases. The experimental heat-transfer data were normalized by the calculated stagnation-point values based on test conditions in the tunnel and are presented as a function of the surface distance from the stagnation point. The variation of shock standoff distances with mass flow and volumetric flow of the gaseous ejectants is presented along with photographs of the luminous flow field of the model during tests.
