        Abstract
        An attempt is made to verify second order orthotropic plate theory using a Plexiglas model loaded laterally and in the plane of the plate. The design and construction of the model, loading system, support system and instrumentation are discussed in detail. The experiments did not verify second order orthotropic plate theory. The main reason was the inability of the boundary condition members to apply the designed boundary conditions to the plate. Further attempts to verify the theory are possible with the same apparatus if boundary modifications are made.

          Evaluation of energy-sink stability criteria for dual-spin spacecraft 

          Ortiz, Vincent Michael. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1994-06);
          The nutational stability of a dual-spin, quasi-rigid, axisymmetric spacecraft containing a driven rotor is analyzed. The purpose is to examine a revised energy-sink stability theory that properly accounts for the energy ...

          Experimental investigation of ventilated cavities. 

          Kinnear, Richard James (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1968-05);
          A wedge with a 3.5 inch chord and a half-angle of 4.1 degrees is tested in the MIT Propeller Tunnel. No pulsations were observed on the cavity. Thus, the attempt to verify the theory that pulsations are possible in an ...
