Comparison of the structural efficiency of panels having straight-web and curved-web Y-section stiffeners

Description: Report presenting comparisons of the structural efficiency of panels with straight-web and curved-web Y-section stiffeners. In the high-stress region in which failure is at least in part associated with local buckling, panels with curved-web Y-section stiffeners have higher structural efficiencies than panels with straight-web Y-section stiffeners, which is evidenced by higher average stresses at failure, smaller stiffener heights, or wider average spacing of rivet lines.

Structural Evaluation of an Extruded Magnesium-Alloy T-Stiffened Panel

Description: Note presenting compressive tests made of six different lengths of a ZK60A magnesium-alloy flat panel with skin and longitudinal T-section stiffeners extruded as one integral unit. The results indicated that the extruded panel had structural characteristics somewhere between those for 24S-T and 75S-T aluminum-alloy construction, but required far fewer rivets to assemble than those panels.

Preliminary Experiments on the Elastic Compressive Buckling of Plates With Integral Waffle-Like Stiffening

Description: Memorandum presenting an experimental investigation of the elastic compressive buckling strength of plates with various configurations of integral stiffening. Some of the configurations tested included ribbing that was longitudinal, transverse, longitudinal, and transverse, and skewed at various angles to the sides of the plates to form a diamond or waffle-like pattern. The results indicate that the waffle-like stiffening is of sufficient structural interest to merit further study of the plasti… more

Preliminary Investigation of the Relation of the Compressive Strength of Sheet-Stiffener Panels to the Diameter of Rivet Used for Attaching Stiffeners to Sheet

Description: Report discusses the results of compressive testing of 24S-T aluminum-alloy sheet-stiffener panels with five ratios of stiffener thickness to sheet thickness. For each ratio, rivets of five different diameters were used to attach the stiffeners to the sheets. The compressive strengths were found to increase with an increase in the diameter of the rivets until the ratio of rivet diameter to over-all thickness reached a certain point.
