Stresses in Metal‐Covered Planes: Case of a Thin Rectangular Tube under Torsion with One Cross Section completely Restrained

Abstract

THE advent of the metal‐ and ply‐covered plane has caused a number of one‐time academic problems in the theory of torsion to become of practical interest to the aircraft designer. Any satisfactory solution, therefore, of the academic problem implied in the title to this paper will be a step towards the more complete analysis of the stresses in the root portion of the metal‐covered wing.
