Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences Annual Meeting: Summaries of Papers Presented to the 23rd Annual General Meeting Held in New York on January 24–27, 1955
There are three lateral dynamic attitudes, delineated by rolling, yawing, and sideslipping. It is possible to solve for the pressures on the rolling wing by quasi‐steady analysis…
Energy Theorems and Structural Analysis: A Generalized Discourse with Applications on Energy Principles of Structural Analysis Including the Effects of Temperature and Non‐Linear Stress‐Strain Relations Part I. General Theory
J.H. ArgyrisTHE application of the general theory with displacements as unknowns to frameworks—both of the pin‐jointed and stiff‐jointed type—is straightforward. For the stiff‐jointed system…
