THE EFFECT OF A RIVETED STRINGER ON THE STRESS IN A SHEET WITH A CRACK OR A CUTOUT.
Abstract
The report is concerned with a theoretical investigation into the effect of a rivet-attached stringer on the stress concentrations in a thin elastic sheet with a crack or a cutout. The sheet and stringer are loaded (at infinity) by a uniform tensile stress parallel to the stringer. The sheet contains a finite crack perpendicular to the stringer. The effect of the stringer on the stress concentration due to a circular cutout is also investigated. The problem is formulated in terms of an infinite set of algebraic equations for the unknown rivet loads which are truncated and then solved on the IBM 7094 digital computer. The results are used to calculate the effect of the stringer on the strength of the stress concentration at the crack tip and also at the edge of the circular cutout. (Author)
