Initial Buckling Behavior of Flat and Curved Fiber Metal Laminate Panels

摘要

Local Buckling is expected to become an important design issue when metallicmaterials in conventional stiffened panels are replaced by Fiber Metal Laminates (FML). This report describes an experimental study to validate the use of existing design methods for initial buckling and postbuckling of flat and curved unstiffened FML panels.
