    Compressibility
AI Thread Summary
The phrase "compressibility is abridged" relates to thin airfoil theory in aeronautics, suggesting a reduction in the effects of compressibility under certain conditions. The original poster is seeking clarity on this concept while conducting independent research in aeronautics. They have struggled to find relevant information online or in their textbooks. Recommendations include consulting fluid dynamics literature, such as FM White or Anderson's texts, for deeper insights. Engaging with specific questions during their reading may yield better results in understanding this topic.

I'm doing an independent research in aeronautics (realistically I'm just learning the material on my own and testing out of it due to unforeseen circumstances last semester). One area of study that my professor advised me to research in depth was just this simple phrase "compressibility is abridged."

It sounds simple- the word abridged means "to shorten." However I haven't the slightest clue what context it relates to. I do know it pertains to thin airfoil theory (depending on how good this forum is, I may post questions about that in the near future). I've searched the entire internet and the book and I feel like I can't find anything pertaining to this idea.

Thank you in advance for any aid; and I really hope this particular proff isn't affiliated with this forum- that would be embarrassing.

Best way for you to start reading Fluid Dynamics book FM white or Anderson, the question you posted does not have any Answer, it has tonnes. I would suggest you to post some specific questions when you are reading about the topic.:smile:

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
