Evaluation of stresses in web-stiffened cylindrical sandwich shell subjected to uniform external pressure / by James A. Nott and Gerald D. Ward.

Abstract

CONCLUSION 4 Four cylindrical web-stiffened sandwich models were tested under external hydrostatic pressure. Experimental strains were recorded on both outside and inside shells and compared with theoretical strains computed from existing formula developed at the David Taylor Model Basin. The differences between experimental and theoretical results were within the range of experimental error. ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION This investigation was conducted under the sponsorship of the Bureau of Ships, Code 442, Project No. S-F013 03 02, Task 1956.
