Formulæ and Methods of Calculation of the Strength of Plate and Shell Structures in Aeroplane Construction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2016
Extract
The object of the present report is to make a general survey of the simple formulas and methods of calculation for the determination of the strength of thin-walled structures (plate and shell structures) which are increasing in importance in aeroplane construction, and to facilitate the study of original papers by adding a detailed list of relevant literature. an essential characteristic of the sheet metal covered structures in question is, that the metal skin in addition to the stiffening elements participates in the transmission of force. structures in which the metal sheet serves merely as a covering but which is not loaded in accordance with its strength, do not come within the scope of the present considerations. non-stiffened and stiffened plates and shells, mostly of very small wall-thickness (about 0.5 to 1.2 mm.) may be regarded as structural elements in plate and shell structures (especially shell fuselages, “ monocoques ” and wings).
