4.4.6 Main Takeaways on Fuselage Load Cases
Course subject(s)
Module 4. Loads and Stresses
Pressurization
The stresses and strains in the fuselage as a result of the pressurization are:
with Δ𝑝 the pressure difference, R the radius of the fuselage and t the wall thickness.
Torsion
The shear flow as a result of the torsional load Mt can be defined as:q= Mt:2A and is constant throughout the cross-section. The torsional moment is resisted by shear stresses within the thin walled shell structure.
