NACA Conference on Aircraft Structures. A Compilation of the Papers Presented

Abstract

Some of the topics discussed at this conference include the following: (1) Some considerations of wing-flexibility effects on response due to gusts; (2) Oscillating pressures on fuselages and wings due to propellers; (3) Deflections of solid M or W and swept wings; (4) Deflections and stresses of solid delta wings; (5) Stabilization of compression covers of shell wings by posts; (6) Stability of multiweb box beams; (7) Design for stiffness as well as strength; (8) Some applications of plasticity to structural analysis; (9) Factors governing aerodynamic heating; (10) Thermal buckling of flat plates; (11) Some aircraft structural problems resulting from creep; (12) Size effect in notch fatigue; and (13) Investigation of fatigue strength of a full-scale airplane.
