Which of these does NOT increase the buckling strength of a skin panel?

  • A.Reducing the rib pitch
  • B.Increasing the spacing between stringers
  • C.Reducing the spacing between stringers
  • D.Increasing the skin thickness

Answer: B

Correct answer: Increasing the spacing between stringers

Buckling stress rises as the panel gets shorter, narrower or thicker, so reducing the rib pitch, reducing the stringer spacing and thickening the skin all help. Increasing the stringer spacing makes the panel wider and therefore weaker - and since buckling stress varies roughly with the square of the thickness-to-width ratio, widening it is costly.
