Comparison of an Approximate and an Exact Method of Shear-lag Analysis

Résumé du livre

Numerical comparisons were made between the approximate substitute single-stringer method of shear-lag analysis and the exact solutions, which indicate that for beams of practical proportions the approximate method yields a value for the maximum root stress that exceeds the value obtained by use of the exact solution by less than 10 percent. Comparisons of the approximate solution with experimental results indicate that the actual difference may be less than 10 percent.
