TL;DR: In this article, a spatiotemporal resolution of the free shear layer in the slat-cove region is used to obtain the farfield acoustics of a multi-element, high-lift configuration.
Abstract: Unsteady computational simulations of a multi-element, high-lift configuration are performed. Emphasis is placed on accurate spatiotemporal resolution of the free shear layer in the slat-cove region. The excessive dissipative effects of the turbulence model, so prevalent in previous simulations, are circumvented by switching off the turbulence-production term in the slat cove region. The justifications and physical arguments for taking such a step are explained in detail. The removal of this excess damping allows the shear layer to amplify large-scale structures, to achieve a proper non-linear saturation state, and to permit vortex merging. The large-scale disturbances are self-excited, and unlike our prior fully turbulent simulations, no external forcing of the shear layer is required. To obtain the farfield acoustics, the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings equation is evaluated numerically using the simulated time-accurate flow data. The present comparison between the computed and measured farfield acoustic spectra shows much better agreement for the amplitude and frequency content than past calculations. The effect of the angle-of-attack on the slat's flow features radiated acoustic field are also simulated presented.

01 Jan 1981TL;DR: In this article, a round-robin analysis was conducted to predict the fatigue crack growth in 2219-T851 aluminum center-cracked specimens subjected to flight loading in random cycle-by-cycle format.
Abstract: Papers are presented in the volume summarizing the baseline data, methodology, procedures, and results of a round-robin analysis which was conducted to predict the fatigue crack growth in 2219-T851 aluminum center-cracked specimens subjected to flight loading in random cycle-by-cycle format. The objective of the analysis was to assess whether data from constant-amplitude fatigue crack growth tests on center-cracked specimens can be used to predict fatigue crack growth lives under random loading. The following approaches are discussed in detail: a root-mean-square approach, a crack-closure model, a multi-parameter yield zone model, and a load-interaction model.

TL;DR: A systematic approach is presented that enables ''energy stable'' modifications for existing WENO schemes of any order and develops new weight functions and derive constraints on their parameters, which provide consistency, much faster convergence of the high-order ESWenO schemes to their underlying linear schemes for smooth solutions with arbitrary number of vanishing derivatives, and better resolution near strong discontinuities than the conventional counterparts.

TL;DR: In this article, structural analysis and design technology for buckling-critical shell structures are discussed, including a hierarchical analysis strategy that includes analyses that range from classical analysis methods to high-fidelity nonlinear finite element analysis methods, reliability based design methods, and the identification of traditional and nontraditional initial imperfections for composite shell structures.
Abstract: Recent advances in structural analysis and design technology for buckling-critical shell structures are discussed. These advances include a hierarchical analysis strategy that includes analyses that range from classical analysis methods to high-fidelity nonlinear finite element analysis methods, reliability based design methods, the development of imperfection data bases, and the identification of traditional and nontraditional initial imperfections for composite shell structures. When used judiciously, these advances provide the basis for a viable alternative to the traditional and conservative lower-bound design philosophy of the 1960s. These advances also help answer the question of why, after so many years of concentrated research effort to understand the behavior of buckling-critical thin-walled shells, one has not been able to improve on this conservative lower- bound design philosophy in the past.

TL;DR: A series of phenylethynyl-terminated imide oligomers were prepared by the reaction of aromatic dianhydride(s) with a stoichiometric excess of aromatic diamine(s), at calculated number average molecular weights of 1500-9000 g mol−1 and end-capped with phenylynylphthalic anhydrides in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone as discussed by the authors.
