Buckling of Cylindrical Sandwich Panels with Laminated Faces.

Abstract

General stability of a cylindrically curved sandwich panel with laminated composite face sheets is considered. The analysis accounts for axial compression, edgewise shear, or combined loadings. A mathematical model is formulated, based upon a linear potential energy expression and the Ritz method of discretization. Comparisons are made of the present method with a number of analytical and experimental buckling results. Limitations of the linear stability analysis are discussed in detail. (Author)
