The purpose of this paper is to explain the principles governing the behaviour of structures under transient dynamic loads, such as those encountered by aircraft structures during landing or flying in gusty weather. The paper is intended mainly for the young aeronautical engineer who may not be particularly well versed in this aspect of stress work.
This paper is the basis of a Lecture given to the Southampton Branch of the Society on 1st November 1950.
Note on Page 374 * This assumed numerical value for the slope of the lift curve is the one most open to uncertainty in this estimate of wing aerodynamic damping.
