Matrix Analysis of the Circular Conical Fuselage: A Development and Revision of an Earlier Paper to Include the case of Cut‐outs

METHOD for the stress analysis of the circular conical fuselage with flexible frames, subjected to a fairly general type of load distribution, was recently developed by the present writer in a paper published in the Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society. This paper did not, however, make any attempt to deal with the question of cut‐outs, and for the reason given below it later transpired that certain modifications of the basic theory were required before this problem could be solved.
