Data on the Compressive Strength of 75S-T6 Aluminum-Alloy Flat Panels Having Small, Thin, Widely Spaced, Longitudinal Extruded Z-Section Stiffeners

Description: "The experimental results are presented for the second part of an investigation of the compressive strength of 75S-T6 aluminum-alloy flat panels with longitudinal extruded Z-section stiffeners. This part of the investigation is particularly concerned with panels in which the ratio of the thickness of the stiffener material to the skin material is small and the ratio of stiffener spacing to skin thickness is large" (p. 1).

Effect of variation in diameter and pitch of rivets on compressive strength of panels with Z-section stiffeners: Panels that fail by local buckling and have various values of width-to-thickness ratio for the webs of the stiffeners

Description: Report presenting an experimental investigation to determine the effect of varying the rivet diameter and pitch on the compressive strength of flat 24S-T aluminum-alloy Z-stiffened panels of the type for which design charts are available. The current investigation is concerned with panels which have various values of width-to-thickness ratio of the webs of the stiffeners and have such length that failure is by local buckling.

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.
