The Effect of Concentrated Loads on Flexible Rings in Circular Shells

Abstract

Tests were conducted to determine bending stresses in circular fueslage rings and of shear stresses in the skin between the rings. Results of these tests were compared with results obtained by theoretical methods. Maximum bending moments in the rings are less and maximum shears are more than those predicted by the standard theory which assumes rigid rings. MAximum shear stresses occur 30 deg from a radial load instead of 90 deg as predicted by the standard theory.
