Abstract
Anisotropic pressure panels are disclosed. The pressure panels include at least two distinct regions, with one region yielding to lateral deformation more than at least one other region. The regions each independently may include a plurality of beads, such beads optionally integrally formed in the body of the pressure panel. In aerospace applications, the pressure panel may be coupled to load-bearing structures, such as wings, and may at least partially define a wheel well.
