Experimental Investigation Of

First Published in 1987. This work demonstrates how experimental designs are produced through the active use of social theory. It also shows how theoretically designed experiments address broader issues in social theory, issues that can be traced back to the classical theories of Marx and Weber. Because it discusses the structure of a working theory as well as the applications, this volume encourages readers to think of social structures dynamically.

An experimental investigation was made at Mach numbers of 1.62, 1.93, and 2.41 of a series of tail combinations consisting of a triangular vertical tail attached symmetrically to a triangular horizontal tail to determine the lateral force, yawing moment, and rolling moment due to sideslip. The apex angles of both the vertical- and horizontal-tail surfaces were varied systematically in order to obtain results for an appreciable range of operating conditions.
