STRESS-STRAIN DISTRIBUTION IN LAP-JOINTED THIN SHELLS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4052560

Two hemispherical Mg shells and two cylindrical steel shells, all 10 in. in dia and 0.100 in. thick, were joined by means of a simple interference lap joint. The stress distribution in the vicinity of each lap joint was determined analytically and verifled experimentally. The assumption of uniform pressure on the lap-joint interface and the use of the theory of beams on elastic foundation show good agreement between the theoretical and experimental stress distributions.
