A= area of plywood veneers parallel to the stringers<strong>and</strong> outside the critical zone.The rolling shear stress will be, from Equation 11.1:SQ sτ r =IbHorizontal Shear StressQ H will not be the same as Q s because it will be the first moment of all veneers parallel tothe stringers above (or below) the neutral axis.To account for differences in modulus of elasticity a transformed section is required thus:HenceE skinQ = Q stringer + xQH skin(11.8)EstringersS.QH.ESTτH =(11.9)(EI )bgwhereSQ HE STEI gb= total shear force= as defined= modulus of elasticity of stringers (N/mm2)= stiffness factor (N-mm2)= total width of stringers intersected by the neutralaxis (mm).11.6 <strong>Design</strong> Example – Stressed Skin Panels<strong>Design</strong> a floor panel to span 5m for the following unfactored loading <strong>and</strong> deflection requirements:Uniformly distributed live loadUniformly distributed dead loadDeflection limitation for live loadDeflection limitation for dead <strong>and</strong> live load= 2kPa= 0.5kPa= span/360= span/240Stressed Skin Panel – Worked ExampleThe solution will follow the <strong>Design</strong> Methodology previously discussed in Section 11.5 of this chapter.Trial SectionAssume as a trial section the panel having the material specifications <strong>and</strong> dimensions shown inFIGURE 11.6.150
