Experimental Investigation of Ultimate Loads Carried by Flat, Unstiffened Panels Under Combined Shear and Compression

<p>Four series of tests were made on flat, unstiffened panels under combined shear and compression loading for two thicknesses and two length over width ratios. In each case, the panels were carried to their ultimate loads. An empirical relation was developed for the variation of shear and c...
