Critical Shear Stress of Curved Rectangular Panels
Abstract
A solution based upon small-deflection theory is presented for the critical shear stress of curved rectangular panels with simply supported edges. Computed curves which cover a wide range of panel dimensions are presented; these curves are found to be in good agreement with test results. Estimated curves are also given for panels with clamped edges. A series of papers has been prepared to provide information on the buckling of curved sheet. The problem treated in the present paper, which is a part of a series, is the determination of the critical shear stress of a cylindrically curved rectangular panel. For panels having simply supported edges this problem is solved theoretically (see appendix); and computed curves are provided for finding the critical shear stress. Estimated results are also given for curved rectangular panels having clamped edges.
