Rectangular Plates with Stiffeners: The Buckling of Simply Supported Plates under Compressive Stress
J. RatzersdorferThe Differential Equation of the Problem and the Solution. A RECTANGULAR plate of length a with simply supported edges is reinforced by equal longitudinal ribs at equal distances b…
Design and Production Technique: Principles Involved in Die‐Casting
A.J. SchroederIT is not an easy task for either designer or production engineer to find at once the best possible and the most economic method of manufacturing a part, taking into consideration…
The Maintenance of Fluorescent Tubes
THE ever‐growing use of fluorescent tubes for lighting in all kinds of industrial premises is significant of their efficiency and versatility. Although they are only a little over…
