Variable orthogrid stiffened shell

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to orthogrid stiffened structures. The present disclosure envisages a variable orthogrid stiffened shell (100). The shell (100) comprises at least one face sheet (102), a plurality of stringers (104) and a plurality of rings (106) attached to the face sheet (102). The stringers (104) are attached parallel to each other. The rings (106) are attached to the face sheet (102) across the stringers (104) to form an orthogrid array (110) on the face sheet (102). The dimensions of thickness and height of the stringers (104) vary from the dimensions of thickness and height of the rings (106).

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
