Description: Results are presented of tests of two sets of 20 curved-sheet specimens to determine the effect of normal pressure on the critical compressive and shear stress of curved sheet. It was found that normal pressure raised the critical compressive and shear stress of curved sheet except when outward bulging occurred in compression, in which case the critical stress was lowered by normal pressure.
