The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by William Cawthorne Unwin, on a paper 'The elastic equilibrium of circular cylinders under certain practical systems of load' by Louis Napoleon George Filon

Reference number: RR/15/186

Date: June 1901

Description

Sectional committee: Physics and chemistry

If the reasoning of the paper is accurate, the paper is important and should be published, or deserves to be published, in Philosophical Transactions. The reasoning involves mathematics beyond a practical engineer and the paper should be referred to some professed elastician, perhaps Professor Karl Pearson or Mr Larmor.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1902].

Endorsed on verso as received 17 June 1901.
