Plan view of a STAGS model of the T-stiffened flat panel under combined in-plane loading, Nx and Nxy and normal pressure, p

This is Fig. 25 from the 1995 p2stags paper. This slide shows a plan view of the undeformed and deformed STAGS finite element model of the optimized T-stiffened panel previously optimized by PANDA2.

The in-plane loading components, Nx and Nxy, are shown, as well as the boundary conditions for the case in which the two edges parallel to the stringers (longitudinal edges) are prevented from warping in the plane of the panel skin.
