  • Note on the dynamics of a slightly deformable body 
    Hemp, W. S. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1947-02)
    The purpose of this note is to develop the equations of motion of a slightly deformable body. Appeal to general principles shows the independence of the translation (Para.2). Moving axis are defined in papa.3 which can be ...
  • Notes on the problem of the optimum design of structures 
    Hemp, W. S. (College of Aeronautics, 1958-01)
    The urgent need for a systematic approach to the problems of the optimum design of structures is stressed and ideal formulations of these problems are considered. Differential equations and a variational principle are ...
  • On a theory of sandwich construction 
    Hemp, W. S. (College of Aeronautics, 1948-03)
    The theory of sandwich construction developed in this paper proceeds from the simple assumption that the filling has only transverse direct and shear stiffnesses, corresponding to its functional requirements (§1). This ...
  • On the analysis of statically indeterminate structures 
    Hemp, W. S. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1946-11)
    This report develops a general method for the analysis of statically indeterminate structures. It concerns itself both with a rigorous demonstration of the validity of the methods and with recommendations for their successful ...
  • On the application of oblique coordinates to problems of plane elasticity and swept-back wing structures 
    Hemp, W. S. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1950-01)
    The object of this report is two-fold. On the mathematical side it seeks to illustrate the use of oblique coordinates in applications to Elasticity and Structure Theory. On the practical side it seeks to provide methods ...
  • On the natural frequencies of a reinforced circular cylinder 
    Hemp, W. S. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1949-03)
    This report is concerned with the calculations of the natural frequencies of an ideal structure somewhat representative of an aircraft fuselage. The results are based upon a simplified “shell” theory which permits proper ...
  • Optimum structures 
    Hemp, W. S.; Chan, H. S. Y. (College of Aeronautics, 1965-07)
    The design of the best structure for a given purpose depends upon the criterion used for optimisation. Structures may be designed to safely transmit a given system of forces using the least weight of material.. They may ...
  • Plastic buckling of a plate in shear 
    Hemp, W. S. (College of Aeronautics, 1957-05)
    This note derives the mathematical equations for the analysis of the shear buckling of a plate, in the case where the initial stresses exceed the elastic limit of the material. It is hoped at a later stage to apply this ...
  • Solution of a load diffusion problem by relaxation methods 
    Vaisey, Gillian; Hemp, W. S. (College of Aeronautics, 1954-11)
    SUMMARY The need. to generalise the usual assumptions made in the analysis of load diffusion problems has been emphasised by recent experimental work (Ref. 3)1 which has shown the importance of bending of the edge ...
  • Theory of structural design 
    Hemp, W. S. (College of Aeronautics, 1958-08)
    The Theory of Structures is for the most part concerned with the calculation of stresses in a given structure under given external conditions of loading and temperature. The real problem of structural design, however, ...
