Extract

Determination of the cross-sectional dimensions ofpanels of least weight typically follows theprocedure set out by D. J. Farrar in this JOURNAL 20years ago. Farrar made the assumption that forpanels of least weight the flexural and localinstability stresses were coincident. Using this heinvestigated the Z-section stringer-skin combinationand later, using the same method, E. J. Catchpolestudied the panel having unflanged integralstiffeners. In both cases the panel is treated as awide strut, i.e. the flexural buckling load wastaken to be the Euler buckling load, no accountbeing taken of the effect of edge restraint.
