Strain gauges are placed at two locations on a wing that is being tested in a wind tunnel. The first gauge is near the fixed base of the wing and the other gauge is near the free wing tip. Two tests are performed: (a) the wing vibration is recorded for low velocity laminar flow and (b) for high velocity turbulent flow. For each of these tests, discuss the following: (i) Describe and compare the time histories you would expect to...

One end of an iron poker is placed in a fire where the temperature is 651 °C, and the other end is kept at a temperature of 24.0 °C. The poker is 0.880 m long and has a radius of 4.40 × 10-3 m. Ignoring the heat lost along the length of the poker, find the amount of heat conducted from one end of the poker to the other in 7.00 s. Take the thermal conductivity of iron to be...

An aircraft firm is considering three different alloys for use in the wing construction of a new airplane. Each alloy can be produced in four different thicknesses (1 = thinnest, 4 = thickest). Two test samples are constructed for each combination of alloy type and thickness, then each of the 24 test samples is subjected to a laboratory device the severely flexes it until failure occurs. For each test sample the number of flexes before failure is recorded, with the...

1. Find a picture on the internet that shows the underlying structure of an aircraft wing and discuss how it is similar to the box beam concept. 2.The box beam concept handles bending and torsional loads. Consider and discuss what structural elements we have explored so far in this course that address these loads. Hint: there are two (one for bending and one for torsion). Also, please include the following in the discussion. Depending on the air vehicle performance requirements...
