Extract

The issue of the Royal Aeronautical Society Structures Data Sheets 02.01.28 to 37* prompts the publication of a short survey of the theory on which these sheets are based and of the manner in which they may be applied. To save the need to refer to original sources the theory is developed from first principles; but for brevity the application is illustrated only by one simple example. Other more elaborate applications are illustrated by the example data sheets themselves. A recent paper by Chilver covers the same ground from the mathematical point of view and the purpose of the present paper is to illustrate the practical application of the method to familiar problems in the computation of initial buckling stress for sheet-stiffener combinations.
