In the first edition <strong>of</strong> this book, the critical buckling load <strong>of</strong> a transversely<br />
stiffened web was derived from an assumed buckling mode <strong>of</strong> saw-tooth<br />
pattern, consisting <strong>of</strong> straight longitudinal strips <strong>of</strong> web between transverse<br />
stiffeners and the latter deflecting alternately inwards and outwards. <strong>The</strong> critical<br />
buckling load P cro was derived from this buckling mode as<br />
p 4 EIsya<br />

This expression would predict that Pcro would increase with any increase in<br />
the spacing a <strong>of</strong> the transverse stiffeners, all other parameters remaining the<br />
same. This is obviously unrealistic. <strong>The</strong> assumed saw-tooth buckling mode is<br />
really invalid, as the straight longitudinal strips are assumed to be <strong>of</strong> negligible<br />
flexural stiffness and would thus be unable to resist any applied longitudinal<br />
compressive loading.<br />
A study <strong>of</strong> the elastic critical buckling solutions for many stiffened panel<br />
geometries in References [10] and [11] indicates that the magnitude <strong>of</strong> the<br />
critical shear stress <strong>of</strong> the panels is numerically very similar to the critical<br />
longitudinal compressive stress. Thus, sl above can be taken as the sum <strong>of</strong> the
