KR> Drilling Holes in Spars - stress riser?

2008-10-12 Thread Stephen Jacobs
Looking at a simple vertical shear moment diagram for a wing fuselage arrangement like the KR(treating the spar as a beam) with a questionable but perhaps not unrealistic assumption that the vertical load on the two longerons is equal (this assumes the weight of the plane is centered within the

Stephen this is exactly how the stress and load factors are determined in the Marcel Jurca replica fighter designs. That being said however this designs have a one piece wing which is fastened to the fuselage the same as the Pazmany designs. This would be an easy enough change to make on the KR

The shear load is not affected. It is always the total weight that is being carried by the spar. Increasing the spacing between the spar caps does not affect the shear. + Thank you for that, advice on this level is very much appreciated. I Sometimes I see the neutral axis

This is not correct. The neutral axis is very near the center of the spar and it is the best place to put holes. A reinforcing ring is an excellent idea. You should feather the edge ... prevent creating what is called a stress riser. +++ Thank you Donald - much
