Among the problems introduced by swept wings is that of the non-rectangular panel in equilibrium under loading applied tangentially along its edges. The present article examines the state of stress in a general uniform quadrilateral panel and, for the benefit of stiffness calculations, the strain energy stored in it. Stable conditions are assumed. The problem of replacing such a panel by ‘diamond’ bracing is also treated.
