THE paper suggests a new approach to the calculation of the bending strength of semi-monocoque (and possibly fully mono-coque) aircraft fuselage shells. The method described uses directly load-deflexion graphs obtained from laboratory compression tests on panels representative of the shell at the section under consideration, and is analogous to the calculation of the form factor for a solid beam section, which factor is dependent on the shape of the section and on the stress-strain relationship of the material of which the beam is made.
