Abstract:

The paper presents a mathematical analysis based on shear flow and shear lag theories to determine deflections and stresses for stressed-skin panels wherein skins are rigidly bonded to stringers. Experimental examination of several panel constructions showed that the analysis can provide a rational basis for the design of stressed-skin panels. Designs based on the analysis will result in more efficient use of materials.
