Abstract

Because of the requirements for sufficient stiffness, sheet structures usually consist of stringer-stiffened panels. The mort prominent examples can be found in aircraft structures, viz. the wing and fuselage skin panels. The skin material is a relatively thin sheet, to which evenly spaced stringers are attached by means of riveting or adhesive bonding. When considering crack propagation and fracture of thin sheets, it is necessary to take into account the effect of the stiffening elements if these are present. The problem is one of plane stress, since it concerns sheets.
