3.1 The bending
moment to be applied at 1 cm width of the sandwich panel is given
by Pt 8, Ch 3, Pt 8, Ch 3, 1 General of the Rules for
Special Service Craft. In this example it is evident that the maximum
bending moment and hence maximum stress occurs under the base of the
stiffener. Due to the high aspect ratio no correction factor needs
to be applied to modify the applied bending moment.
