    Aileron reversal and divergence of swept wings with special consideration of the relevant aerodynamic and elastic characteristics
    (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1952-03) Radok, J. R. M.
    Using oblique coordinates, the static problems of Aero-elasticity for swept wings are reduced to the solution of integral – or matrix equations, which may be solved by iteration. The present treatment also indicates the suitability of integral equations for fundamental aero-elastic investigations. Continues …

    Dynamic aeroelasticity of aircraft with swept wings
    (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1952-04) Radok, J. R. M.
    Using oblique coordinates, integro-differential equations of motion of aircraft with swept wings are deduced from Hamilton’s Principle for the dynamic problems of aero-elasticity, i.e. for the problems of free vibrations, flutter, dynamic stability and gust loads.

    The theory of general instability of cylindrical shells
    (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1952-06) Radok, J. R. M.
    Using a new approach to the theoretical study of thin-walled cylinders with discrete reinforcing members developed in the paper, the problem of general instability of such structures is solved with more than usual generality. Continues …

    Vibrations of a swept box
    (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1951-04) Radok, J. R. M.
    The equation of motion of a uniform swept box with stringers and ribs are deduced. For the case of vibrations of a cantilever they are transformed into integrated equations, an approximate method of solution of which is indicated.
