Stability of Elastic Equilibrium
Report Number: AFFDL TR 70-25 Author(s): Koiter, Warner Tjardus Corporate Author: Stanford University Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 2/1/1970 Pages: 322 Project: 0 Task: 0 AD Number: AD0704124 Photo Enhancement: Not Needed
Abstract Text:
A general theory of elastic stability is presented. In contrast to previous works in the field, the present analysis is augmented by an investigation of the behavior of the buckled structure in the immediate neighborhood of the bifurcation point. This investigation explains why some structures, e.g., a flat plate supported along its edges and subjected to thrust in its plane, are capable of carrying loads considerably above the buckling load, while other structures, e.g., an axially loaded cylindrical shell, collapse at loads far below the theoretical critical load.

Stress and Deflection Analysis of Mechanically Fastened Joints
Report Number: AFFDL TR 70-49 Author(s): Harry G. Harris; Irving U. Ojalvo; Reginald E. Hooson Corporate Author: Grumman Aerospace Corporation Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 5/1/1970 Pages: 288 Contract: F33615-69-C-1263 Project: 1467 Task: 146704 AD Number: AD0709221
Abstract Text:
The report presents analytical techniques for predicting both the linear and nonlinear stresses and deformations of mechanically fastened joints. The idealization used is a set of stacked parallel plates which transfer planar loads among themselves by means of transverse fasteners. The plates are treated by finite element methods of matrix structural analysis in which each element is assumed to be in plane stress for both elastic and plastic stress states. The fasteners, which are treated by short-beam theory, interact with the plates under the assumption that the plates may be represented by an equivalent elastic foundation. Application of the present analytical techniques was made to a variety of problems including: the combined elastic-plastic behavior of plates with unloaded holes, the load-deflection behavior of single-fastener joints, the residual stress distributions in plates with squeeze rivets, the effect of fastener bending and shear deformation on the bearing stress distribution between the fastener and the plate, and the prediction of the fatigue life of typical mechanically fastened joints. In all these cases, comparisons with test results generally gave very good correlation. For the range of parameters studied, the effects of hole clearance and fastener interference and geometric configuration appear to play the dominant roles in determining the stress distribution and hence, the fatigue life of mechanically fastened joints.

System Description and Performance Data for the USAF/CAL Variable Stability T-33 Airplane
Report Number: AFFDL TR 70-71 Author(s): Hall, G. Warren; Huber, Ronald W. Corporate Author: Cornell Aeronautical Lab Inc Buffalo N Y Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 8/1/1970 Pages: 332 Features: + Foldout(s) Contract: F33615-69-C-1664 Project: 8219 Task: 821905 AD Number: AD0876626 Photo Enhancement: Complete
Abstract Text:
The USAF/CAL variable stability T-33 airplane is a jet trainer which has been extensively modified for use as a research vehicle. A response-feedback system allows the normal T-33 derivatives to be augmented so that handling qualities of existing airplanes, future airplanes, or hypothetical configurations may be simulated in flight or in a fixed-base ground simulator. The report attempts to provide an updated functional description of the variable stability T-33. The information is presented for setting up a simulation program and for performing calibration procedures. A brief description of the equipment and airplane systems is also included.

Design, Fabrication, and Flight Testing of Self-Organizing Flight Control System

Abstract Text:
The report summarizes design characteristics, simulations, bench tests, and flight tests of an elementary self-organizing controller (SOC) for the pitch axis of the F-101B aircraft. This controller was flown with a cockpit electric side stick in a pseudo-fly-by-wire configuration, that is, as a fly-by-wire system with a normally disengaged mechanical backup. Blended pitch-rate and forward normal acceleration feedback (C*) and stabilator position feedback were the primary return signals used by the SOC. An optional Mach Trim loop was also investigated. The SOC, which incorporated unique modulated-noise circuits to minimize adverse effects of control-loop nonlinearities, had full authority over the aircraft stabilator within the inherent rate and position limits of the actuator. 32 test flights were conducted with the SOC, constituting a total flying time of approximately 40 hours. These flights encompassed nearly the entire performance envelope of the F-101B and included piloting tasks representative of missions flown with current fighter aircraft. The Air Force pilots rated the SOC between A1 and A2 on the CAL Revised Pilot Rating Scale. There were no in-flight malfunctions of the SOC equipment.

The Use of Reflectors to Shape a Sound Field
Report Number: AFFDL TR 70-97 Author(s): Jerome E. Manning; James A. Moore Corporate Author: Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Inc. Laboratory: Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory Publication Date: 3/1/1971 Pages: 126 Contract: F33615-69-C-1384 Project: 4437 Task: 443701 AD Number: AD0883946
Abstract Text:
The use of reflectors to control the distribution of the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) in sonic test chambers is investigated. The goal is to obtain more realistic SPL distributions on the test object. It is concluded that the use of reflectors will not increase the SPL on a test object unless the reflector and test object are in the near field of the sound generators. The results of the study are applied to the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory's (AFFDL) Sonic Fatigue Facility at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Design charts are presented that relate predicted SPL distributions to reflector size and positioning.
