Fuselage Splicing
Fuselage Splicing
(OP)
I've seen many videos for fuselage construction of huge commercial airplanes . they build the fuselage into many small stiffened panels that are assembled together to form mail complete cylindrical sections . later 3-4 cylindrical sections are assembled together. so here is my question, how could they fix those section together though a very small area of the skin only i can't imagine that this will hold the huge bending stress on it. could anybody explain how this assembly is done

Michael CY Niu Airframe Structural Design [Practical Design Information and Data on Aircraft Structures] Chapter 11 may have the examples You want to understand [fuselage joints]. This book is readily available for ~$60--100 on-line [used, new]... and is worth every penny for a new designer!
Michael CY Niu has two other books worth buying...
