"The theoretical critical stress is derived for a simply supported curved rectangular panel in axial compression having a central chordwise stiffener offering no torsional restraint. The results are presented in the form of computed curves and a table. Because a panel of moderate or large curvature buckles in compression at a stress considerably below the theoretical value, a method is suggested to aid in determining the critical stress for use in design" (p. 1).

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
