| Description | Results for cylindrical configurations using the STAGS computer program were presented. Discontinuities were imposed upon the shell's skin by incorporating symmetrical cutout openings. In addition, the surface is stiffened with both stringer and ring-stringer arrangements. The cutout problem has been shown to be highly nonlinear for smooth surface shells, but it was found that bifurcation and collapse loads are close when one is considering stiffened skin configurations. In order to arrive at this conclusion, it was necessary to evaluate the following: (1) comparison between smeared and discrete stiffener theory for linear solutions, (2) numerical finite difference convergence as directed toward buckling determination, (3) collapse load results with the various skin stiffeners. A linear bifurcation study relating to stiffening effects around cutout areas present within stringer and ring-stringer shell surfaces was included. Comparisons were made between a variety of geometric positions considering cutout frame and thickened skin additions. |
