Equation B6-21 gives conservative results when stresses are above
the material proportional limit. However, it is very useful for design
purposes because of its simplicity. It can be put in the form of an
interaction equation by dividing both sides by the combined stress to
give
f+f
eR, 10 (86-22)
The combined stress, is the maximum allowable stress which depends
on the load condition and type of loading. For tension loads, F can be
either tension yield stress or tension ultimate stress. For compres-
sion loads, it is usually compression yield stress, column buckling
stress, or column crippling stress. In any case, the summation of
bending and axial stress cannot exceed the allowable stress. For effi-
cient design, the ratio Rp should equal 1.0, unless shear stresses
are applied.
In aircraft structure, compression panels are generally loaded by
shear in addition to bending and compression, For wing structure the
Shear is primarily due to flexure. The interaction equation in this
case is
2 4 2
RZ + RE = 1.0 (86-23)
For fuselage structure, shear is primarily due to torque. The
interaction equation for this case is
1.75 |
Rot RE? = 1.0 (B6-24)
These interaction equations are plotted in terms of safety margin in
Figures 86.3.3-1 and -2. When using Equations B6-22 to B6-24, the allow-
able compression stress is determined based on: (1) whether bending
produces compression in the skin or the stringer outstanding flange, and
(2) whether bending moment is at the center or end of the panel. Table
B6.3.3-1 shows the appropriate allowable stress.

86.3.4 Buckled Skin
Compression panels are often designed so that skin will buckle
before maximum load is reached. When this happens, the skin stress is
no longer uniformly distributed over the panel width, b.. Total load
on the skin-stringer combination is given by the equation
«5b.
Pet -5b, F(x) dx + fy Ay (86-25)
Various theoretical studies have been made to determine the skin
stress distribution, f(x), after buckling. They lead to long compli-
cated equations which are dependent on the boundary conditions and
difficult to apply. For design purposes, it is common practice to
replace the integral term with an effective width of skin, b,, and a
uniform stress, f, which gives the same total skin Toad as would be
obtained if the non-uniform stress distribution were known. This leads
to the equation for total load on the skin-stringer combination
P=, b ty + fy Ay (86-26)
where the stress f, and f, are determined based on uniform
compression at constant strain, e.
Various equations have been proposed for determining the skin
effective width in Equation B6-26. The Von Karmen effective width
equation gives an applied load that correlates well with integral, Z
and J stiffened compression panel tests. This equation is

Half of the width should be placed on either side of the stringer
web when applying Equation Bo-27 to integral, Z, or J stiffened com
pression panels. A plot of the ratio (b/t) is given in Figure B6.3.4-1
for 2024 and 7075 aluminum sheet.
