The Analysis of Fuselages of Arbitrary Cross‐section and Taper: A DSIR Sponsored Research Programme on the Development and Application of the Matrix Force Method and the Digital Computer Available to Purchase

As a first example of the application of the cut‐out procedure to fuselage problems and the selection of appropriate cut systems, the elimination of a complete ring is discussed in detail. ‘Minimal’, ‘maximal’ and ‘dismembering’ techniques are all applied to singly and doubly connected rings, and attention is drawn to some inadmissible and critical combinations of cuts in order to guide the most effective choice. The second fuselage example treats similarly the removal of a portion only of the ring.
