NACA-TN-2661, NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS TECHNICAL NOTE 2661 - A SUMMARY OF DIAGONAL TENSION; PART 1 - METHODS OF ANALYSIS (MAY-1952) (KUHN, P.; PETERSON, J.P.; & LEVIN, L.)

NACA-TN-2661, NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS TECHNICAL NOTE 2661 - A SUMMARY OF DIAGONAL TENSION; PART 1 - METHODS OF ANALYSIS (MAY-1952) (KUHN, P.; PETERSON, J.P.; & LEVIN, L.)., Previously published methods for stress and strength analysis of plane and curved shear webs working in diagonal tension are presented as a unified method. The treatment is sufficiently comprehensive and detailed to make the paper self-contained. Part I discusses the theory and methods for calculating the stresses and shear deflections of web systems as well as the strengths of the web, the stiffeners, and the riveting. Part II, published separately (NACA-TN-2662), presents the experimental evidence.
