Design and Test of Postbuckled Stiffened Curved Plates. A Literature Survey

摘要

A designer's tool for compressive buckling of aircraft fusel-age panels,currently being developed at the Structures and Materials Laboratory of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of Delft University of Technology, must be validated with experimental results. The tested materials will be either isotropic (metal), orthotropic (GLARE, a fiber-metal laminate(2)) or anisotropic (fibre reinforced plastics). For the formulation of a test matrix, a literature survey concentrating on tests of flat and curved, stiffened and unstiffened plates is performed. At the same time, simple semi-empirical formulas are collected to construct a design procedure based on these formulas. The design procedure can be checked and validated with the results of the literature survey.
