Design Development and Durability Validation of Postbuckled Composite and Metal Panels. Volume 3. Analysis and Test Results
Abstract
The objective of this program was to develop design procedures and durability methods for curved metal and composite panels designed to operate in the postbuckling range under the action of combined compression and shear loads. This research and effort was motivated by the need to develop design and life prediction method( such structures. The program has been organized in four tasks. In Task I, Technology Assessment, a complete review of the available test data was conducted to establish the strength, durability, and damage tolerance characteristics of postbuckled metal and composite panels and to identify data gaps that need to be filled. Task II, Data Base Development, was comprised of static and fatigue tests required to fill in the data gaps identified in Task I. New rigorous static analysis methods aimed at improving the accuracy of the existing semi-empirical. analyses and life prediction techniques were developed in Task III. Task IV consisted BUCKLING, COMBINED LOADS, COMPOSITE PANELS, COMPRESSION, CURVED PANELS, DESIGN, DURABILITY, DAMAGE TOLERANCE, FATIGUE, IMPACT, METAL PANELS, POSTBUCKLING, REPAIR, SHEAR.
