Some Effects of Kinetic Heating on the Stiffness of Thin Wings: A Preliminary Investigation of the Effects of Thermal Stresses on the Torsional and Flexural Stiffness of Thin Solid Wings Available to Purchase

This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the effects of kinetic healing at supersonic speeds on the torsional and flexural stiffnesses of thin solid wings. The main investigation is based on the small deflexion theory, but the scope of the analysis for torsion is extended to cover the effects of large deformations.
