Summary

An analytical solution is given for the one-dimensional distribution of temperature in a web of an idealised multi-cell wing structure when the adiabatic wall temperature variation is assumed to be either an instantaneous or a linear function of time. The maximum temperature difference between skin and web centre is computed for a range of structural geometries and thermal parameters. Thermal stresses are calculated assuming a parabolic temperature distribution in the web.
