Semi-tailless aircraft concept with variable cant stabilizers applied to small UAVs
(Wichita State University, 2019-04-26)In recent years the use of small UAVs (<5lbs) has grown rapidly. While fundamentally the same as large aircraft, differences in requirements, payloads, and cost allow for a greater number of viable concepts. Many new ... -
Higher-order estimations of load factor from derived gust velocity
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 2018-11-12)Pratt's formula, in which the aircraft is modeled as a single-degree-of-freedom system, is used extensively to extract derived gust velocities from measured normal acceleration. There is evidence that airframe mass ... -
Elastic-plastic analysis of adhesive-bonded single-lap composite joints under tension
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 1993-07)An analytical model of adhesive-bonded single-lap composite joints is developed to predict the stress-strain distributions with such joints under tensile loading. The First-order laminated anisotropic plate theorem is ... -
Impact response and microstructural analysis of two glass/epoxy composite laminates
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995-06)Low velocity impact tests were performed on two glass/epoxy (spring orientation and crossply) composite laminates. A weight drop tower tester was previously constructed to study the impact energy absorbed by a composite ... -
Strength analysis of butt and strap joints under tension and bending
(Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering, 1990-04)The strength analysis of a butt and strap composite pipe joint is provided. This commercial joint consists of mating two sections of pipe and overwrapping them with additional composite laminae. The pipe analyzed in this ... -
Qualification of advanced composite pipe for use in fire water deluge systems on open type offshore oil platforms
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996-07)Different types of FIBERBOND pipe in the dry condition and with a butt & strap joint were subjected to a controlled fire for fire endurance evaluation. Testing adheres to a modification of the ASTM 1173-95 guideline, which ... -
Stress-strain analysis of an adhesive-bonded taper-taper joint between two composite flat plates
(Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE), 1996-05)An analytical model of a taper-taper adhesive-bonded joint between two composite flat plates has been developed using classical first-order laminated plate theory and including a correction for transverse shear deformation ... -
