PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT OF GUST DESIGN PROCEDURES BASED ON POWER SPECTRAL TECHNIQUES. VOLUME 1. THEORETICAL AND GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Abstract
A review is made of the progress and findings that have been obtained in a study aimed at the development of gust design procedures based on power spectral techniques. Included is a consideration of atmospheric turbulence makeup. A corresponding discussion is given of the aircraft structural parameters that are needed in spectral evaluation and on the practical aspects of their evaluation. Emphasis is given to the spectral design procedures that have evolved from the study, and a new hypothesis for fatigue considerations is advanced, case in the notation of gust loads design. Ease of application, interpretation and implication to design, present and future, and comparison with past design procedures are covered.
