Download or read book A Method for Calculating Stresses in Torsion-box Covers with Cutouts written by Richard Rosecrans and published by . This book was released on 1951 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stresses in the covers of torsion boxes containing large cutouts are found by changing half of the symmetrical uncut portion of the cover into three stringers carrying direct stress and intermediate cover material carrying shear stress. Illustrative examples are solved and the results are compared with experimental values. For one example, the results are compared with a more detailed numerical method of analysis. The agreement between theory and experimenbt is satisfactory in all cases except those with very large cutouts and flexible bulkheads.
