"Arguing that politics is essentially a contest for meaning and that telling a story is an elemental political act, Richard A. Pride lays bare the history of school desegregation in Mobile, Alabama, to demonstrate the power of narrative in cultural and political change. This book describes the public, personal, and meta-narratives of racial inequality that have competed for dominance in Mobile. Pride begins with a white liberal's quest to desegregate the city's public schools in 1955 and traces which narratives--those of biological inferiority, white oppression, the behavior and values of blacks, and others--came to influence public policy and opinion over four decades. Drawing on contemporaneous sources, he reconstructs the stories of demonstrations, civic forums, court cases, and school board meetings as citizens of Mobile would have experienced them, inviting readers to trace the story of desegregation in Mobile through the voices of politicians, protestors, and journalists and to determine which narratives were indeed most powerful. Exploring who benefits and who pays when different narratives are accepted as true, Pride offers a step-by-step account of how Mobile's culture changed each time a new and more forceful narrative was used to justify inequality. More than a retelling of Mobile's story of desegregation, The Political Use of Racial Narratives promotes the value of rhetorical and narrative analysis in the social sciences and history."--Book cover.

The results are presented of a study of several silicide-base oxidation-resistant coatings applied to 0.012-inch-thick molybdenum-alloy sheet. The specimens were both continuously and cyclically exposed at 2,500 degrees F in air. The effect of three different types of thermal cycles was investigated. A failure mechanism is proposed to explain the severe reduction observed in the ability of a coating to protect the substrate when thermally cycled. A failure mechanism for the continuously exposed coated specimens is also proposed. The investigation includes the results of X-ray studies and room-temperature mechanical-property tests on the coated specimens.

Tests were made of 14S-T6 aluminum-alloy square tubes to determine the critical compressive stress of simply supported flat plates in the plastic range. Excellent agreement is shown with with Stowell's theory for plastic buckling which is based upon a deformation theory of plasticity, close agreement with two other deformation-type theories of plastic buckling and withthe secant-modulus method, and marked disagreement with a buckling theory based upon a flow theory of plasticity.

The theory of plastic buckling, originally developed for individual plates, has been extended to apply to combinations of plates such as H- and Z-sections. The theory has been applied specifically to extruded H-sections of 75S-T aluminum alloy; the calculated buckling stresses agree satisfactorily with the results of tests.

Twenty-five square-tube beams made of aluminum alloy were tested to failure under various combinations of bending moment and transient heating. Two types of heat input were used so that the effect of thermal stresses could be separated from effects of material properties. Two sizes of square tubes were tested so that both elastic and plastic buckling stresses would be obtained.

A simple and practical method for evaluating the onset of permanent buckling in plates in the presence of combined thermal and compressive load stresses is outlined. A particular application of the method shows reasonable agreement with tests of 17-7 PH stainless steel square tubes. The results indicate that the compressive load stress which the plate can support at the onset of permanent buckling is substantially reduced as the temperature difference of the plate and adjoining members increases.
