Initial design of stringer stiffened bend boxes using geometric programming
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Summary
The technique of geometric programming is applied to the design of optimum wing bend boxes in sheet-stringer-rib construction. The work extends the previous application in multi-spar design and the results for the different configurations are compared. Closed-form design equations are given for the case of buckling constraints whereas more complex formulations with stress constraint were solved by computer.
