Abstract
Our proposed method [1] is extended for the cylindrical bending of an asymmetrical composite panel upon piecewise constant loading and point forces, with and without allowance for transversal stiffness (perfect compliance) in shear or tension/compression along the normal. A set of fundamental functions was obtained for all the cases examined. The properties of functions were studied taking account of the discontinuous nature of the surface loading. The set of functions was normalized for initial values of the variable coordinate. Integral relationships required for analysis were derived and an identical expression of the unit function was represented in terms of the fundamental function set. The boundary problem of a panel supported along the surface of its lower face layer with free ends is reduced to the Cauchy problem. The solution is greatly simplified for a panel symmetrical relative to its mean plane. Asymptotic formulas were obtained for the case of infinite panel length. Relationships are give for the stresses and layer deflections, which permit consideration of all the features of the stress state in addition to simplified calculations for actual panel design.
