    Description: A method of economically evaluating the hydrodynamic forces generated in a gas-lubricated tilting-pad bearing is presented. The numerical method consists of solving the case of the infinite width bearing and then converting this solution to the case of the finite bearing by accounting for end leakage. The approximate method is compared to the finite-difference solution of Reynolds equation and yields acceptable accuracy while running about one-hundred times faster. A mathematical model of a gas-lubricated tilting-pad vertical rotor systems is developed. The model is capable of analyzing a two-bearing-rotor system in which the rotor center of mass is not at midspan by accounting for gyroscopic moments. The numerical results from the model are compared to actual test data as well as analytical results of other investigators.

    Description: A computer code which will rapidly calculate time-optimal low thrust transfers is being developed as a mission analysis tool. The final program will apply to NEP or SEP missions and will include a variety of environmental effects. The current program assumes constant acceleration. The oblateness effect and shadowing may be included. Detailed state and costate equations are given for the thrust effect, oblateness effect, and shadowing. A simple but adequate model yields analytical formulas for power degradation due to the Van Allen radiation belts for SEP missions. The program avoids the classical singularities by the use of equinoctial orbital elements. Kryloff-Bogoliuboff averaging is used to facilitate rapid calculation. Results for selected cases using the current program are given.

    Description: The development of a propulsion system that employs a detonating propellant is described, and the need for such a system and its use in certain planetary atmospheres are demonstrated. A theoretical formulation of the relevant gas-dynamic processes was developed, and a related series of experimental tests were pursued.

    Description: A computer program (program LEE) has been developed to calculate the fully coupled solution of the radiating viscous stagnation streamline flow with strong blowing. The report describes the digital computer program, including FORTRAN IV listing, flow charts, instructions for the user, and a test case with input and output. Program LEE is available through COSMIC.

    Description: Studies are described in which the effort was essentially directed to classes of problems where the phenomenologically interpreted effective transport coefficients could be absorbed by, and subsequently extracted from (by comparison with experimental data), appropriate coordinate transformations. The transformed system of differential equations could then be solved without further specifications or assumptions by numerical integration procedures. An attempt was made to delineate different regimes for which specific eddy viscosity models could be formulated. In particular, this would account for the carryover of turbulence from attached boundary layers, the transitory adjustment, and the asymptotic behavior of initially disturbed mixing regions. Such models were subsequently used in seeking solutions for the prescribed two-dimensional test cases, yielding a better insight into overall aspects of the exchange mechanisms.

    Description: The effects of wing loading on the design of short takeoff and landing (STOL) transports using (1) mechanical flap systems, and (2) externally blown flap systems are determined. Aircraft incorporating each high-lift method are sized for field lengths of 2,000 feet, 2,500 feet, and 3,500 feet, and for payloads of 40, 150, and 300 passengers, for a total of 18 point-design aircraft. An assumed 1975 level of technology is applied to both concepts in terms of propulsion, weights, active controls, supercritical wing methodology, and acoustics. Low-wing-loading STOL configurations with mechanical flaps are found to be competitive with externally blown flap STOL configurations over wide ranges of payload and field length for the airworthiness rules and technology improvements assumed. Because the results of design studies like this one are sensitive to the ground rules assumed, careful attention is paid to describing the assumptions. These assumptions must be understood before the results are compared with other STOL airplane studies.

    Description: Resistance of advanced fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composite materials to ballistic impact was investigated as a function of impacting projectile characteristics, and composite material properties. Ballistic impact damage due to normal impacts, was classified as transverse (stress wave delamination and splitting), penetrative, or structural (gross failure). Steel projectiles were found to be gelatin ice projectiles in causing penetrative damage leading to reduced tensile strength. Gelatin and ice projectiles caused either transverse or structural damage, depending upon projectile mass and velocity. Improved composite transverse tensile strength, use of dispersed ply lay-ups, and inclusion of PRD-49-1 or S-glass fibers correlated with improved resistance of composite materials to transverse damage. In non-normal impacts against simulated blade shapes, the normal velocity component of the impact was used to correlate damage results with normal impact results. Stiffening the leading edge of simulated blade specimens led to reduced ballistic damage, while addition of a metallic leading edge provided nearly complete protection against 0.64 cm diameter steel, and 1.27 cm diameter ice and gelatin projectiles, and partial protection against 2.54 cm diameter projectiles of ice and gelatin.

    Description: The Small, High-Pressure-Ratio Compressor Program was directed toward the analysis, design, and fabrication of a centrifugal compressor providing a 6:1 pressure ratio and an airflow rate of 2.0 pounds per second. The program consists of preliminary design, detailed areodynamic design, mechanical design, and mechanical acceptance tests. The preliminary design evaluate radial- and backward-curved blades, tandem bladed impellers, impeller-and diffuser-passage boundary-layer control, and vane, pipe, and multiple-stage diffusers. Based on this evaluation, a configuration was selected for detailed aerodynamic and mechanical design. Mechanical acceptance test was performed to demonstrate that mechanical design objectives of the research package were met.

    Description: Four specimens identified as SL-1.3, SL-1.8, SL-1.9 and SL-2.5 were submitted for metallurgical characterization. These specimens had been processed in the M512 Facility as a part of the M553 Sphere Forming Experiment performed during the Skylab 1/2 flight. Three of these specimens, SL-1.3, SL-1.8, and SL-2.5 were designed to be melted completely by the electron beam and detach themselves from their support posts and resolidify while floating free in the near zero gravity and vacuum environment of space. Specimens SL-1.3 and SL-1.8 were completely melted, but it is believed they did not leave their posts before solidifying. Specimen SL-2.5 was only partially melted. Specimen SL-1.9 was to be completely melted and retained on a large sting which was accomplished as planned. The nominal composition of the four specimens was: (1) SL-1.3 - Ni 12% Sn; (2) SL-1.8 - Ni 30% Cu; (3) SL-1.9 - Pure Ni; and (4) SL-2.5 - Pure Ni. These four specimens have been examined according to the Phase B Characterization Plan. The results are discussed and compared with similar characterization analyses run on ground base specimens.

    Description: Both processed nickel-copper alloy specimens apparently completely melted by the electron beam in the Skylab M512 materials processing facility and either floated free in space, but collided with some smooth flat surface before solidifying, or remained attached to its support post during solidification. Both specimens had a smooth flat area on the surface due to this adherence during solidification. The nominal composition of the alloy before processing in space was 70 percent Ni and 30 percent Cu. Tests show that a considerable amount of copper was lost during processing by evaporation. It was further found that less copper was present in the cap areas, particularly at the surface, than was in the remainder of the specimens. The microchemistry of the dendrites and interdendritic regions, however, is in agreement with the phase diagram for this alloy. The measured densities of these specimens were less than the theoretical density of the alloy due to the amount of porosity present, however, no large voids were found by radiographic techniques.
