Hello, I have two questions
A.Where are the greatest amount of stress in a thin panel under a sideway load?
B.What formula is used to calculate that stress?
Here is a rough sketch I have prepared of what I think is happening.

Detail 'A' give the size...
For mild thin wall steel tube 1 inch by 1 inch by .062 What would be the allowable stress 65,000 or 22,000 psi? Tensile, compression and bending? Thanks Don
