Summary

Parts 1 to 5 of this paper (February, September and November 1947 issues of the JOURNAL) investigated the stresses and deformations of closed tubes in which the thicknesses were governed by the ts* and t* laws. In the present part, the analysis is extended to multi-cell tubes with openings, open tubes with or without St. Venant torsional stiffness, and to tubes formed by joining elements of different cross-sections. To illustrate the theory a numerical example of the stressing of a four-boom wing consisting of seven joined elements is fully worked out. Finally, an appendix gives practical methods of dealing with tubes which do not conform to the ts* and t* laws, and of finding approximate solutions for four-boom tubes with direct stress carrying covers.
