Cumulative Damage in Fatigue: A Step towards Its Understanding:

Abstract: A method is described which uses changes of apparent dynamic modulus and damping during fatigue cycling, for estimating accurately the fatigue lives of stainless steel (Rex 535) specimens This technique for estimating well in advance of failure the fatigue lives of individual specimens avoids the usual difficulties caused by scatter of fatigue results, and has enabled a more precise quantitative investigation to be made of cumulative fatigue damage (ie damage due to multi-level loading) than would have been possible using conventional experimental methods By estimating the remaining life of a specimen at one stress amplitude before measuring the equivalent remaining life at a second stress amplitude by cycling to failure, it was possible to determine lines of equal damage on a plot of stress amplitude versus remaining fatigue life These lines of equal damage were used to predict the fatigue lives of specimens subjected to programmes of multi-level loading, and the accuracy of these estimates, when co

Natural Transition of Boundary Layers—The Effects of Turbulence, Pressure Gradient, and Flow History

Abstract: Natural transition of boundary layers is investigated for a flat plate in a low-speed wind tunnel with free-stream turbulence intensities ranging from 0.3 to 5 per cent, and with pressure-gradient ...

A Vibration Technique for Non-Destructively Assessing the Integrity of Structures:

Abstract: A method of non-destructively evaluating the integrity of structures is described and applied to structures for which a one dimensional analysis is satisfactory. It is shown how vibration measureme...

A Numerical Solution to the Elasto-Hydrodynamic Problem

Abstract: This paper presents a solution to the problem of hydrodynamic lubrication of highly loaded clastic cylinders under isothermal conditions. A numerical method is developed which enables a pressure cu...

The Stability and Control of Motorcycles

Abstract: Mathematical models of a motorcycle and rider dependent on three alternative assumptions concerning the tyre behaviour are developed. Stability characteristics deduced from them are compared, and m...
