Synopsis

This book introduces a simplified three-stringer method of shear-lag analysis to calculate stress distribution around rectangular cutouts in axially loaded panels. It's derived by combining a number of stringers into single stringers, which are termed "substitute stringers". This simplification allows for rapid stress analysis of panels with a cutout while providing satisfactory accuracy. The book reviews the author's previous research on the subject and provides a more complete and accurate solution. The three-stringer method is compared with the two-stringer method to demonstrate its improved accuracy in predicting stringer stresses, with some discrepancies in shear stress predictions attributed to local deformations. The book includes mathematical details of the exact and simplified three-stringer methods and provides a numerical example solved by all methods. It also presents experimental results obtained from strain surveys around cutouts, showing good agreement between calculated and observed stringer stresses. This book is a valuable resource for engineers and researchers involved in the design and analysis of aircraft structures, particularly those involving panels with cutouts. It offers a practical and accurate method for stress analysis, contributing to the safety and efficiency of aircraft design.
