ALPOLIC/fr Panel Strength Calculation Project name:

1. Calculation basis - Panel thickness & type: - Panel size:

t 4 mm long side (a) short side (b)

- Supporting condition: - 0.2% proof stress of aluminium skin of ALPOLIC/fr (3105-H14) - Permissible stress of ALPOLIC/fr: - Wind load (Working load):

405 2000 mm 1000 mm < 4-side simply supported > 152 N/mm2

126 N/mm2 W= 1.5 kPa = 1500.0 * 10-6 N/mm2

2. Calculation of bending stress & deflection without stiffener (from White Binder P.7-13) [Bending stress] 2 2 - Formula of bending stress: AP = *W*b /t where, - a/b (long-short ratio): 2.00 - Coefficient : 0.613 - t2 (square of apparent thickness): - Bending stress: [Deflection] - Coefficient : - Eap* tap3: - Deflection: 9.25 2 2 AP = *W*b /t = 99 < 126 N/mm

OK

0.112 2546040 N.mm AP = *W*b4/(Eap* tap3) = 65.7 > 10 mm N.A.

3. Calculation with stiffener 3-1 Calculation basis - Stiffener size (by way of an example): - Material: - Permissible stress: - Number of stiffener(s) per panel: - Imposed load width per stiffener (B): - Span of stiffener (L)

- Stiffener+ALPOLIC: 3-3 Bending stress - Bending moment:

I = I1 + I2 =

1.646 *104 mm4

M = W*B*L2/8 = Stiffeners share: M1 = M*I1/(I1+I2)= ALPOLICs share: M2 = M*I2/(I1+I2)=
