Extract

In a recent articlein the Journal Dr. Syed Yusuff complains of a lack of “analytical work on compression panels of integral construction … . to provide an insight into the mechanism of the various instabilities involved and also to enable the designer to evaluate its advantages more precisely.” It may therefore be pertinent to point out that there is no fundamental difference between the modes of instability of integral panels and those of conventional panels with riveted or bonded stringers, except in so far as certain modes such as inter–rivet buckling cannot arise. Consequently the analyses discussed by Argyris and Dunne in the Handbook of Aeronautics and the more recent paper by Argyris on flexure-torsion panel failure are immediately applicable to integral panels; indeed with an enhanced degree of accuracy due to the monolithic character of the integral panel. Thus, such uncertain factors as the rivet stiffness need no longer be considered. In fact, in the last mentioned paper the analysis is illustrated by application to an integral panel with flanged stiffeners.
