A stressed-skin panel is a structural panel consisting of plywood facings glued to timber stringers. It is normally used as floor, roof, or wall member subject to bending. The plywood facings and stringers act as a series of I-beams where the plywood acts as a resistant of all the bending stresses. A cross bracing may be positioned to support the edges of the skin and to help distribute concentrated loads.
