The Repair and Overhaul of Gas Turbines: Some Notes on the Organization and Facilities Used in the Maintenance of Jet Engines
F/O S.M. SaeedIT was generally believed during early servicing experience of gas turbines that nearly every defect could result in power losses, but the last eight years have provided…
Approximate Solution of Non‐Linear Equations: A Step‐by‐step Method for Obtaining an Approximate Numerical Solution of a Non‐linear Differential Equation
J.M. NightingaleTHE modes of a dynamical system are defined by its equations of motion. For instance, the response of a simple linear system to a periodic external force is completely specified…
The Reaction of Metals to Force: An Examination of the Fundamentals of Resistance to Stress, with Particular Reference to the Importance of Ductility
P.C. GilesThis paper deals with a few of the properties of metals under uniform stress distribution. Consideration is then given to non‐uniform stress conditions, and the importance of the…
