Combining fuselage bending with pressurisation, the longitudinal stress on the upper skin in a nose-up bending case is

  • A.The bending stress alone
  • B.The difference between the hoop and bending stresses
  • C.The sum of the two longitudinal stresses
  • D.The pressurisation stress alone

Answer: C

Correct answer: The sum of the two longitudinal stresses

Pressurisation puts the whole shell into longitudinal tension of \( pr/2t \), and nose-up bending puts the upper skin into tension as well, so the two act along the same axis and add. This is why the two cases cannot be assessed separately: the combined stress may exceed the allowable although neither alone does. The hoop stress acts perpendicular to both and enters through the failure criterion rather than by addition.
