IntroductionA simple and accurate technique to determine the Burgers vector of a dislocation has become feasible with the advent of HVEM. The conventional image vanishing technique(1) using Bragg conditions with the diffraction vector perpendicular to the Burgers vector suffers from various drawbacks; The dislocation image appears even when the g.b = 0 criterion is satisfied, if the edge component of the dislocation is large. On the other hand, the image disappears for certain high order diffractions even when g.b ≠ 0. Furthermore, the determination of the magnitude of the Burgers vector is not easy with the criterion. Recent image simulation technique is free from the ambiguities but require too many parameters for the computation. The weak-beam “fringe counting” technique investigated in the present study is immune from the problems. Even the magnitude of the Burgers vector is determined from the number of the terminating thickness fringes at the exit of the dislocation in wedge shaped foil surfaces.

SummaryThe problem of maximising the range of a given unpowered, air-launched vehicle is formed as one of Mayer type in the calculus of variations. Eulers’ necessary conditions for the existence of an extremal are stated together with the natural end conditions. The problem reduces to finding the incidence programme which will give the greatest range.The vehicle is assumed to be an air-to-ground, winged unpowered vehicle flying in an isothermal atmosphere above a flat earth. It is also assumed to be a point mass acted upon by the forces of lift, drag and weight. The acceleration due to gravity is assumed constant.The fundamental constraints of the problem and the Euler-Lagrange equations are programmed for an automatic digital computer. By considering the Lagrange multipliers involved in the problem a method of search is devised based on finding flight paths with maximum range for specified final velocities. It is shown that this method leads to trajectories which are sufficiently close to the “best” trajectory for most practical purposes.It is concluded that such a method is practical and is particularly useful in obtaining the optimum incidence programme during the initial portion of the flight path.
