Behavior of a plate strip under shear and compressive stresses beyond the buckling limit
This NACA technical memorandum from 1938, issued by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics and preserved through NASA's Technical Reports Server, is an engineering report for aircraft structure specialists on how thin plate strips behave under shear and compression after buckling. Its pictures are dense graphs of curves plotting stress ratios against parameters, with dashed and solid lines, labelled families, and a figure of a sinusoidal stress distribution along a strip, so a designer might borrow the clean grid-and-curve plotting style and the layered line-weight system.
