Aerodynamic Research For An Improved Rotor Control System On Helicopters, Delmar Wallace Breuer
Aerodynamic Research For An Improved Rotor Control System On Helicopters, Delmar Wallace Breuer
Masters Theses
"Since the author has always been interested in Aeronautical Engineering, and in particular, rotary-winged-aircraft, the problem of research for aerodynamic improvement of rotary-wing control systems was chosen. This problem was suggested by the Army Aircorps Officials of Wright-Patterson Field of Dayton, Ohio as being a valuable and practical problem for the government. It is also valuable and practical for the author since it follows his general course of undergraduate study and since it fits closely into the field for which he is preparing himself...The requirement with which the author is most concerned is the design system for the producing of …
Analysis Of The Transit Traverse Survey Method Of The United States Department Of Interior, Geological Survey, Edward John Kimmick
Analysis Of The Transit Traverse Survey Method Of The United States Department Of Interior, Geological Survey, Edward John Kimmick
Masters Theses
"This thesis was undertaken to ascertain the feasibility of incorporating the United States Geological Survey methods of surveying and computing into a course of study in the Civil Engineering curriculum. It has been the author's opinion that a course of study could be tendered, as a definite project, which incorporates fundamental surveying and advanced surveying. The author's planned course of study was a method of third order transit traverse survey streamlining the method used by the United States Geological Survey. The time element and weather were the essential factors in the planning. In the advanced surveying course there are eighteen …
Interrelationship Of Transverse Anchorage And Adhesive Bond In Welded Wire Reinforcement, Alan Arthur Becker
Interrelationship Of Transverse Anchorage And Adhesive Bond In Welded Wire Reinforcement, Alan Arthur Becker
Masters Theses
"...Welded Wire Reinforcement Fabric has been applied only to certain "light types" of reinforced concrete construction. It has not as yet been applied as main tension reinforcement for most concrete structures, mainly due to the fact that a thorough investigation of the potentialities and possibilities of welded wire fabric has not as yet been conducted. It is expected that the data collected in this investigation coupled with data collected in similar investigations performed at the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy will furnish the basis for a structural and economic comparison between welded wire fabric and ordinary reinforcing bars. The …
The Establishment And Analysis Of A Triangulation System For The Teaching Of Advanced Surveying, Philip Blaine Newlin
The Establishment And Analysis Of A Triangulation System For The Teaching Of Advanced Surveying, Philip Blaine Newlin
Masters Theses
"The first thought of establishing a triangulation system for the University of Arizona student work was conceived early in the fall of 1947, when the author first learned that he would be in charge of the advanced surveying field parties during the spring semester. These men were to be instructed in the accepted manner of conducting surveys of higher order. This would include the measuring of a base line of second or first order accuracy, the turning of horizontal angles with this same degree of accuracy, the determination of the azimuth of the lines by astronomical observations, the running of …
The Theory Of Limit Design As Applied To The Design Of A Continuous Beam Over Three Supports, Robert F. Davidson
The Theory Of Limit Design As Applied To The Design Of A Continuous Beam Over Three Supports, Robert F. Davidson
Masters Theses
"The theory of Limit Design is the application of the theory of Plasticity to the estimation of the actual carrying capacity of a structure. In this theory, as it is applied to statistically indeterminate structures, the areas of most unfavorable stress are allowed to be stressed beyond the yield point and into the plastic range of stress. It was formerly held that, by assuming elastic behavior, all questions of strength of materials that concern the Structural Engineer were capable of solution. However, it is now becoming recognized, from actual measurements of deformations of structures and from tests carried to near …
Design Of A Wind Tunnel For The Missouri School Of Mines And Metallurgy, William E. Speece
Design Of A Wind Tunnel For The Missouri School Of Mines And Metallurgy, William E. Speece
Masters Theses
"For some time there has been a need for a wind tunnel at the School of Mines for experimental work in the Civil and Mechanical Engineering Departments. With the expanding program and the possibility of establishing an Aeronautical Engineering School here, the need will be even more pronounced. So the problem will be of definite practical value. It was the original idea to design a small tunnel, build the tunnel, and to run a series of smoke tests on various structural models. However, after discussing the possibility of such a problem with school authorities, it was decided that if a …
Efficiency Of Various Types Of Reinforcement In Controlling Opening Of Cracks In Concrete Pavements, Frederick Richard Heartz
Efficiency Of Various Types Of Reinforcement In Controlling Opening Of Cracks In Concrete Pavements, Frederick Richard Heartz
Masters Theses
"To date very little work has been done on the subject of the amount of crack opening for different loads on concrete pavement. It is a known fact that these cracks must be held together sufficiently to have aggregate interlocking action if the pavement is to transfer loads from one edge of a crack to the other. The maximum permissable [sic] opening has been set at .027 inches by the Highway Research Board. The author has attempted in this investigations (1) to determine the effect of different spacing and different sizes of longitudinal and transverse wires in controlling crack opening …
A Correlation Of Formulas For The Flow Of Fluids In Pipes, John Gorman Duba
A Correlation Of Formulas For The Flow Of Fluids In Pipes, John Gorman Duba
Masters Theses
"At present there exist two quite distinct fields in fluid flow in pipes, the one in water supply and the other in the petroleum industry. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss the various pipeline flow formulas as used in both fields and to correlate the exponential type formula which is much used in practice with the Nikuradse curves obtained in the laboratory"--A Brief Historical Review, page 5.
