Local postbuckling of omega-stringer-stiffened composite panels
Abstract In order to utilize the full lightweight potential of thin-walled stringer-stiffened composite panels, a new closed-form analytical solution for the buckling and postbuckling of omega-stringer-stiffened composite panels is introduced. Because of the high computational efficiency, it allows the analysis of the early postbuckling behaviour in the framework of preliminary design. The solution is derived based on the principle of the minimum of the total elastic potential. A suitable set of buckling shape functions models the buckling pattern and imperfection. The load is applied via prescribed displacements. The results of the closed-form model are compared and verified with finite element simulations and the implementation of another closed-form model found in the literature. An exemplary cross-ply laminated panel under uniaxial compression is investigated. The results show that the proposed model achieves excellent general agreement in the practically most relevant design space.
