TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the results from the centre hole and the parting out techniques and a fully penetrant bead on plate fatigue sample with the bead running axially was used to compare the two techniques in more detail.
Abstract: Residual stress determination has been carried out on production welds to provide engineering data.
A parting out technique has been used in which a strain gauged through thickness slug of material is removed from the weld area.
The centre hole technique has been used with the blind hole in the weld material.
There were differences between the results from the two techniques and a fully penetrant bead on plate fatigue sample with the bead running axially was used in order to compare the two techniques in more detail.
After parting out, the layer removal technique was carried out in order to provide a relatively detailed through thickness residual stress distribution in order to explain the differences between the results from the centre hole and parting out techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Harrier is the only V/STOL aircraft in service, having performed for over 12 yr. The necessity for higher combat performance creates a need for higher specific thrust for supersonic flight (Mach 2), which is achievable with plenum chamber burning.
Abstract: Directions for designs and powerplant configurations for V/STOL aircraft are explored. The Harrier is the only V/STOL aircraft in service, having performed for over 12 yr. Rolls-Royce has studied engines with powered lift separation from forward propulsion, and engines with composite lift/propulsion modes, resulting in concentration on vectored thrust using rotating or deflected nozzles. The necessity for higher combat performance creates a need for higher specific thrust for supersonic flight (Mach 2), which is achievable with plenum chamber burning. The core flows are exhausted through separate nozzle systems for independent control. Intake in a V/STOL follows a short path and results in nonuniform flow, and testing is described to account for the effects of nonuniform static pressures and temperatures.

15 Nov 1965TL;DR: A review of the progress made in lift jet installations is presented in this paper, where the authors show that the installed features are of comparable importance to the weight of the basic engine.
Abstract: A review of some of the progress made in lift jet installations is presented in this paper. At the heart of it all is the low cost lightweight RB162 second generation lift jet which is simple and makes extensive use of glass reinforced plastics. Examples of plastic components are shown. The higher thrust/weight and thrust/volume ratio of a third generation lift jet are revealed. The weight of installed features is of comparable importance to the weight of the basic engine. Installed weight has been reduced over three lift jet generations, more than keeping pace with the improvements in basic engine thrust/weight ratio. Weight breakdowns are given for the V.T.O.L. equipment in a fighter‐type aircraft representative of all three generations. Progress on lift intake and exhaust jet deflectors is shown with reference to specific examples. Ground erosion is briefly discussed and shown to be greatly reduced by multiple nozzles and the rolling take‐off technique. Progress being made on some of the problems associated with installing eight lift jets in a V.T.O.L. strike aircraft is briefly discussed with reference to maintenance and instrumentation.
