Supersonic wind tunnel measurements of the loads and internal pressure distributions on internally parallel ducts at incidence

Cook, P.H. (author)

A series of ducts which are parallel internally but otherwise similar to the straight ducts reported on in R.A.E. Technical Note Aero 2951 have been tested in order to extend the range of Mach number and rectangular duet height/width ratio to lower values whilst maintaining supersonic flow at the intake, and to eliminate the effect of a...

The effect of supplementary protectives on the fatigue performance of a riveted lap joint

Cook, R. (author)

A series of constant amplitude fatigue tests have been carried out on single shear riveted lap joints. The joints were made from 2024-T3 aluminium alloYi half were assembled with JC5A jointing compound and half were assembled dry. Four 'wet' assembled and four 'dry' assembled joints were then treated with CRODAFLUID PW51 and a similar number...

Wind tunnel tests at mach numbers up to 2.80 to determine the effects of changing spanwise volume distribution on a slender cambered ogee wing

Cook, T.A. (author)

Tests have been made at M = 0.31, 1.40 (0.20) 2.40, and 2.80 to examine the effects of concentrating volume near the centreline of an integrated, slender configuration. The results show that the effects of changing spanwise volume distribution are generally small, though skin friction drag is affected by changes in wetted surface area.

Luni-solar perturbations of the orbit of an earth satellite

Cook, G.E. (author)

The effects of the gravitational attractions of the sun and moon on the orbital elements of an earth satellite are investigated using Lagrange's planetary equations. Expressions are obtained for the change in the elements during one revolution of the satellite and for the rates of change of these elements. Corresponding expressions are obtained...

Frictional force measurements on fretted specimens under constant amplitude loading

Edwards, P.R. (author), Cook, R. (author)

There is substantial evidence that the damaging effect of fretting depends upon the magnitude of frictional forces between fretted surfaces. Accordingly a programme of measurement of frictional force between aluminium alloy specimens and steel fretting pads under constant amplitude loading has been carried out. The measurements have been used,...

The orbits of needle satellites

Hughes, J.M. (author), Cook, G.E. (author)

The formation of belts of Needle satellites, which have been proposed for long-range radio communication, is discussed. The perturbations of these belts are investigated by studying the combined effects of solar radiation pressure and the earth's gravitational potential on satellites of large area-to-mass ratio.
