    Handling "bad press" within a working group

    Much appreciate the congratulations, but like you indicated, JMW, I'm wondering if the appointment is unconditional afterall. Considering that management has been hung-up on what they consider to be a "science project" approach, I'd be suprised if they were aware of anything other than their...

    Handling "bad press" within a working group

    Thanks one and all for your input. I appreciate and was heartened by your insight and advice. It's interesting to note responses to the indication of the "science project" cliche. I'm sure there won't be a hull loss because of spelling mistakes in my first paragraphs in this thread but last time...

    Handling "bad press" within a working group

    I work within a large engineering group in stress analysis for a multinational corporation. I'm in the habit of checking my work especially considering that it is for the substantiation of flight hardware. As a consequence I've found mistakes in work, by company experts, that is being done and...

    F06 Shear Output Calculation

    Hello all. I have a question regarding the f06 load and stress outputs for a CQUAD4 element defined with PSHELL properties, specifically in relation to the following. I've been trying to determine the calculation of the shear stresses that NASTRAN outputs for a CQUAD4 element. Is it the sum of...

    Textbook recommendation

    I'm interested to find out more about cryogenic thermodynamics (qualitative and quantitative analysis) including coverage of heat transfer analysis at cryo temps. Could someone recommend a good introductory text? Much obliged, Ss

    Lowest selectable airspeed or V MIN

    Thanks for the excellent response. Would this then be the basis for the best hold speed in a holding pattern? If so, two airspeed designations come to mind with operations in a holding pattern, namely, the minimum fuel speed and the minimum drag speed. Recalling basic flight mechanics, the two...

    Lowest selectable airspeed or V MIN

    Hello there, I'm trying to determine how the lowest selectable airspeed or Vmin is derived for an aircraft. So far, my estimation is that this is actually the stall speed plus X knots as a margin of safety added (if any) but what are the variables that govern it. I'd say that the stall speed is...

    Mystik 7455 Tape a.k.a "Rocket Tape"

    This is a direct solution when the name of the product's manufacturer is available for reference, but not in this case. FYI, It wasn't provided by the distributor (despite a request) until after it's use was deemed redundant. Thanks for the reply. Ss

    Mystik 7455 Tape a.k.a "Rocket Tape"

    Hi there, I'm researching for info on Mystik 7455 tape, a high temp. Aluminum/Glass cloth tape and getting very few leads at the moment. I was wondering if there might be any definite sites or repositories that may carry technical info, specs, application and descriptions on this item...
