An approximation employed in this analysis concerning motions of long wave length may make the results subject to question

28、for values of k near zero. The reference presents expressions for calculating the finite-span values of the Theodorsen function C(k). The use of these F and G circulation functions in equations (8) and (9) results in values of the various clerivat,ives considered for aspect ratios of 6 and 3. The ae

29、rodynamic-span effect is considered for wings of arbitrary aspect ratio in reference 8. The three-dimensional effect of the finite span may be obtained by adding a correc- tion term u to the basic Theodorsen two-dimensional func- tion. The finite-span function C(k)+a is employed in a rather lengthy

30、and tedious computation in order to deter- mine the components of the unsteady lift for each of five points along the span of the oscillating surface. The various stability derivatives may then be determined by a graphical integration of the in-phase and out-of-phase components. An approximation mad

31、e in this analysis is of such a nature as to make the method primarily suited to the higher aspect ratios. A practical lower limit of applicability is not known. A one-point approximation to the span effect for the cal- culation of the unsteady lift may be employed rather than the five-point procedu

32、re. Comparative calculations made for the present investigation have shown the one-point approximation to yield results for IOW aspect ratios which are essentially the same as those calculated by the longer procedure. Biot and Boehnlein (ref. 9) considered the aerodynamic- span effect on unsteady li

The finite-span circulation functions used are ?= FSiG $=H+iJ For infinite aspect ratio r;=B= C(k) where C(k) is the two-dimensional Theodorsen function.

40、model. DISCUSSION The variation of the experimentally tletelmined damping in yaw of the test model with frequency is in rensonnbl good agreement for the range covered by the tests with t.he various approximate theoretical treatments which considel the effect of finite span. (See figs. 7 ancl 8.) The

41、 contribu- tion of the fuselage to the damping in yaw is small for the range of test frequencies. A two-dimensional approsimn- tion to the damping as is frequently employed for flutter work appears to be remarkably good for kO.l nnd for aspect 266367-54-Z ratios of 6 and greater (fig. 8). A large ef

42、fect of aspect ratio, however, is shown for aspect ratios below 6 for the entire frequency range and for all aspect ratios for frequencies less than k=O. 1. The two-dimensional result indicates a loss in clamping at. low frequencies much greater than the finite- span result and, in fact, shows a rev

43、ersal in sign of the damping at sufficient.ly low frequencies. A number of papers dealing with unsteady lift have noted this characteristic of the two-dimensional aerodynamic forces. (See refs. 1 to 3 and 14.) An examination of the values of the derivatives C, and C,!; ns computed from reference 6 f

44、or infinite aspect ratio nncl from reference 7 for aspect ratios of 3 and G (fig. 9) indicates that the derivative Cnb is critically depenclent on reduced frequency for the low range of reduced frequencies and infinite aspect ratio. The derivat,ive Cn, is only slightly dependent on the reduced frequ

45、ency for infinite aspect ratio nncl m-en lrss so for the lower aspect ratios. The dependence of C, on reduced frequency is responsible for the decrease in clamping shown for the infinite-aspect-ratio case as the frequent!- is reduced (figs. 7 and 8). The aspect-ratio-2 results shown in figures 7 and

46、 10 were obt.ained from the theory of Jones (ref. 7) for aspect ratio 3 11 use of a correction factor which was the ratio of the lifting-line-theory lift-curve slopes for aspect ratios of 2 and 3. This correction is only approximate and was made in order to place the results 011 a. comparable basis.

47、 The varia- tion of Cnr - !lnb wit.h reduced frequency, shown in figure 7, indicates 110 appreciable effect of frequency to zero frequency. In fact, the result of Jones for aspect ratio 3 reduces to a finite value nt, k=O given by Cnr-C,=-q )g (1.2a2-0.370a+0.515) - u) m which is not the case for th

48、e two-dimensional result that ilppronches infinity as k approaches zero. This result is not espectecl to be ver)- accurate close to k=O, however, because of the nature of t.he assumptions made in its derivation as mentioned previouslv. When the finite-spn.n effects are considered, it appears that th

49、ese eflects nre especially significant with regard to the clamping in yaw of this model for aspect ratios smaller than B. (See fig. 8.) The theory also indicates a significant tlecrense in the clamping at. low frequencies when the aspect rntio was increased from 20 to = . The experimental values of damping in yaw obtained by I free oscillation agree closely with the values of Cn, obtained by the standard curved-flow testing procedure used in the
