Abstract

Charts giving the compressive-buckling-stresscoefficients for sheet panels of a shape occurring in swept-wing plan forms are presented.The panels are assumed to be a part of a continuous flat sheet divided by nondeflecting supports into parallelogram-shaped areas.The stability analysis was perfomed by the energy methcd and the results show that, over a wide range of panel aspect ratio, such panels are decidedly more stable than equivalent rectangular panels of the same area.
