"Echo-sounding technique making use of pulsed eddy currents determines thickness of one metal coated on a base metal. System takes advantage of electrical dissimilarities and is effective even when both metals are ...

"A series of stiffened shells made of plastic were tested to verify the theoretical equations for the effect of edge conditions on the buckling of stiffened and framed shells. The theory was developed by calculating the deflections during loading...

"This paper describes methods for calculating the ideal performance of super-sonic combustion jets such as may be used for rocket engines, jet engines, and combustion gas turbines. Methods are provided for calculating the exceptionally high values...

"Irrigation, drainage, and climatology are combined under professional corporate management of an engineer-agronomist-climatologist type to greatly increase profits on large holdings of flat humid lands. A pioneering development in the Mississippi...

"The demand for modernly equipped farm homes at a moderate cost is becoming an urgent one. Farmers throughout Missouri are striving to keep abreast of the times in modern methods of agriculture. Likewise they are seeking the latest and best...

"The elastic modulus of concrete is an important parameter in reinforced concrete design and analysis. With the increased use of lightweight aggregates for structural concrete a better understanding of the relationship ...

an intelligent judgment. It was the realization of this unsatisfactory condition, brought home by the difficulty of choosing between different lubricants for use in the University Power Plant that led the Engineering Experiment Station to attempt to develop...

"String lining of curves was used extensively during the depression and the war, partly because of limited engineering personnel and money. Many engineers will prefer the following transit method to string lining, at least on important track...

This paper proposes a direct synthesis procedure for the design of sampled-data systems using the z-transformation method. This procedure can be summarized as follows: 1. By methods set forth in the literature the pole-zero ...

"This paper presents the procedures used and the results obtained in a series of static load tests designed to study the mechanism of load transfer between adjacent precast bridge-slab sections. These tests were undertaken as one phase of a general...
