  • Approximate Deflections in Cantilevers Curved in Plan

  • P. B. Mellor, W. Johnson
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    04 July 2016, pp. 64-66

  • It is not difficult to establish equations by means of Castigliano's First Theorem intended to give the deflections and rotations at any point in a cantilever curved in plan. However, when the bending modulus, EI, and the torsional modulus, GJ, are unequal in magnitude and when the plan form is not of simple shape, these equations become difficult to handle, if not unmanageable. For the case in which EI ≃ GJ (a solid circular section or annulus) it is possible to obtain simple, approximate, and explicit expressions for the deflections under a concentrated end load of W1 and end couples M0, T0 for any form of beam. These expressions are now extended in Section 1 to take account of the end loading shown in Fig. 1.

  • Rear-Engined Air Liners

  • A. W. J. Smith
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    04 July 2016, p. 308

  • I Should like to raise a point on the projected rear-engined jet air liners now under active consideration by several major British firms and of which “artists’ impressions” have recently been published, the latest being the V.C.10.

    The rear-engine layout has so many advantages that its use seems entirely logical, but I am curious to know whether or not such a design has been investigated with a noseplane layout in preference to the conventional tailplane. I have been interested in this possible configuration for some years and put the idea forward in a short Branch lecture at Derby when it appeared that quite a few of those then present agreed in broad principle.
