Abstract
A load diffusion problem for cylindrical elastic shells is solved. Infinitely long shells of circular cross section and uniform thickness are considered. These cylinders are reinforced by one or more equally spaced, continuously attached axial stiffeners. Each stiffener is loaded by a single concentrated longitudinal force. The magnitude, sense and axial location of application of each force are the same. The stress quantities of interest are the membrane shearing stress transmitted by a loaded stringer to the shell and the axial stress developed within the stringer. The extent to which shell curvature, stringer spacing and stringer bending stiffness affect these stress quantities is illustrated.
