This paper presents a large-deflection analysis for combined flexure and torsion of solid or hollow wings of biconvex section with a parabolic chordwise temperature distribution. The analysis embraces the buckled, as well ...

A theoretical investigation is made into the diffusion of symmetrical, concentrated loads into a long stiffened panel having constant stress edge members and a transverse loading beam. Both pin-jointed and clamped end ...

A theoretical investigation is made into the effect of spanwise rib-boom stiffness on the stress distribution at a cut-out in the inter-spar skin of a stressed skin wing in bending. Both shear and bending stiffness of the ...

In many problems relating to the stressing of thin-walled cylinders, and in particular those concerned with the stresses set up in a cylinder under torsion when one section is restrained against warping, it has been commonly ...

This report considers the loss of flexural rigidity of a thin wing due to the presence of middle-surface stresses resulting from aerodynamic heating. The spanwise properties of the wing are assumed constant but the wing ...

It is shown that, in a plane sheet under any particular loading system, certain reinforced holes may be made which do not alter the stress distribution in the main body of the sheet. These reinforced holes (hereafter called ...

A simple analytical technique is presented for obtaining lower bounds to the effective moduli of unidirectional fibre-reinforced composites with any repetitive array of fibres. The analysis depends upon a direct method ...

The post-buckling behaviour of a flat plate reinforced by stringers and frames is considered theoretically, attention being concentrated on the case of pure shear loading. Formulae and graphs are presented for the rapid ...
