A New Design Key Locked Insert And Automatic Key Installation Tool, Holt J. Gay May 1957

A New Design Key Locked Insert And Automatic Key Installation Tool, Holt J. Gay

Mechanical Engineering ETDs

There has been an increasing need for a better steel insert or bushing between aluminum and steel bolts in the last few years with the rapid growth of the aircraft and missile industries. The steel insert or bushing threaded internally and externally, by increasing the area of contact with the aluminum raises the strength of the bolt fastening combination approximately 300 per cent or causes a 125,000 PSI bolt to fail rather than 40,000 PSI aluminum to fail. In addition, galling and seizing are practically eliminated. A bolt installed and removed just a few times in aluminum is likely to …

The Stability Of Rectangular Plates With Built-In Supports At The Edges, John Bruce Miles Jan 1957

The Stability Of Rectangular Plates With Built-In Supports At The Edges, John Bruce Miles

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation is to derive an expression for the critical stress for a thin rectangular plate with compressive edge loading. The load is applied on two opposite edges with the remaining two edges built-in. (See Fig. 1) This is essentially a stability problem.

Rectangular plates with compressive edge loading and various edge restraints appear in a number of engineering structures. Bulkheads of ships could be so classified, as could certain components of fabricated beams and columns. The new supersonic B-58 bomber developed by Convair has a honeycomb wing structure dictated by heat conduction requirements. This, too, involves …
