Abstract

This work summarizes the technical literature dealing with buckling and post-buckling behavior of laminated composite plates and shell panels. Emphasis is given to modern materials used in the aerospace industry having fiber-matrix constituents (e.g., glass-epoxy, boron-epoxy, graphite-epoxy, boron-aluminum), but other applications are also considered (e.g., plywood, paperboard). Geometric configurations taken up are either flat (plates) or cylindrically curved (shells), and have rectangular planform. All possible types of loading conditions and edge constraint conditions are considered. Both symmetrically and unsymmetrically laminated configurations are included, with symmetrical laminates represented by orthotropic or anisotropic plate or shell theory. Complicating effects dealt with include: internal holes, shear deformation, sandwich plates with soft cores, local instability, inelastic materials, hygrothermal effects and stiffeners. Approximately 400 references are used. Extension numerical results are presented in graphical and tabular form. Both theoretical and experimental results are summarized. Keywords: Vibrations; Unsymmetric laminates. (Author)

Buckling of laminated composite plates subject to nonuniform in-plane edge loads

Book Kam, T; Chu, K

The buckling of laminated composite plates subjected to nonuniform in-plane edge loads is studied using a shear deformable finite element. The finite element formulation is based on Mindlin`s plate theory in which shear correction factors are derived from the exact expressions for orthotropic materials. Buckling testing of laminated composite plates with different lamination arrangements using the strain measurement technique is performed. The test results indicate that the proposed linear finite element method is unable to predict the buckling strength of imperfect laminated composite plates. The applications of the proposed finite element method are demonstrated by determining the optimal lamination arrangementsmore »« less
Buckling and postbuckling of isogrid-stiffened fiber-composite laminate shells: Analyses and experiments

Book Wang, S; Srinivasan, S; Su, K; ...

Recent advances in fiber-composites manufacturing and structural efficiency requirements have led to the consideration of large isogrid-stiffened fiber-composite laminate shells for various aeronautical and space structural applications. Very little information, if any, on buckling and postbuckling of these grid-stiffened shells is currently available in the literature. In this paper, a combined analytical and experimental study is reported on the buckling and postbuckling behavior of these filament-wound fiber-composite laminate shells constructed with continuous-filament isogrid stiffeners made of the same composite material system. Solutions from linear bifurcation and geometric nonlinear postbuckling analyses have been obtained for stiffened composite shells, monocoque shells andmore »« less
Scale effects in buckling, postbuckling, and crippling of graphite-epoxy Z-section stiffeners

Miscellaneous Wieland, T

Scale-model testing improves the cost-effectiveness of composite structures by reducing reliance on full size component testing. Validation of the scalability of responses was performed using graphite-epoxy laminated composite Z-section stiffeners under compressive loading. A mechanistic approach to scaling was used, in which scalability was evaluated relative to governing mechanics models. This permitted determination of the scalability and the parametric sensitivity of the scalability and the parametric sensitivity of the responses. A linked-plate analytical model was developed for initial local buckling. The buckling and postbuckling responses were also predicted using finite elements. An experimental program involving 52 specimens of 17 basicmore »« less
Optimal Design of Grid-Stiffened Composite Panels Using Global and Local Buckling Analysis

Technical Report Ambur, D; Jaunky, N; Knight, Jr, N

A design strategy for optimal design of composite grid-stiffened panels subjected to global and local buckling constraints is developed using a discrete optimizer. An improved smeared stiffener theory is used for the global buckling analysis. Local buckling of skin segments is assessed using a Rayleigh-Ritz method that accounts for material anisotropy and transverse shear flexibility. The local buckling of stiffener segments is also assessed. Design variables are the axial and transverse stiffener spacing, stiffener height and thickness, skin laminate, and stiffening configuration. The design optimization process is adapted to identify the lightest-weight stiffening configuration and pattern for grid stiffened compositemore »« less
Buckling of unidirectional boron/aluminum stiffeners, a caution to designers

Journal Article Spier, E; Wang, G - J. Compos. Mater., v. 9, pp. 347-360

Unidirectional boron/aluminum stiffeners were used to save weight in stiffened panels, where the cross sections were of such shapes as hats, i's, Z's, channels, etc. The buckling analysis of these structures is usually found to be unconservative when tests are performed. Even so, a weight saving of approximately 50 percent can be achieved in the stiffeners themselves by replacing their metal counterparts. A no-edge-free crippling test was performed on a unidirectional boron/aluminum laminated plate, where collapse occurred at a compressive load considerably below the theoretical bifurcation buckling point. This premature failure is explained by a numerical analysis of the testmore »« less
