Analysis of wing truss stresses including the effect of redundancies (1921)
NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · leaf 6
There are, then, four redundancies in all, including the two stagger wires which are acting. One stagger wire at each panel point always comes into play, but the load may shift from one diagonal to the other as the type of loading changes. In the particular case under consideration it is the long… … Fig. 4. quently has a larger deflection. The long stagger wire accordingly comes into play to equalize the deflections. The distribution of the drag load also acts to stress the same wire, as the wire No. 20 acts as a partial support for the upper wing at the inner panel point, and the length of…
