An analysis is given of the deformation under normal loading of a plate tapered symmetrically in planform with edges either clamped or simply-supported. The thickness may be constant or may vary along the plate as a power ...
An analysis is given of the buckling of a plate of constant thickness tapered symmetrically in planform and subjected to uniform compressive loading on the parallel ends. Two cases are considered. (1) Different uniform ...
Although tapered plates are used frequently in aircraft structures, their buckling behaviour appears to have received little attention. In this report an analysis is given of the buckling of rectangular plates tapered in ...
A finite-deflection analysis is given of the buckling of long, slightly curved panels in compression parallel to the generators, with sides either clamped or simply-supported, and with various combinations of boundary ...
When thin built-up wings experience pure flexure, the surfaces deflect towards the neutral axis of the cross-section due to the 'Brazier' effect. The resulting cross-sectional deformation of symmetrical wings with flat ...
A continuous solution is derived for the stress distribution in a simple wing surface represented by a uniformly reinforced stri p bounded by equal constant area edge members, when the sections in the airstream experience ...
