Current Research on Shear Buckling and Thermal Loads with PASCO: Panel Analysis and Sizing Code,

Abstract

A computer program PASCO for obtaining the detailed dimensions optimum (least mass) stiffened composite structural panels is described. Design requirements in terms of inequality constraints can be placed on buckling loads or vibration frequencies lamina stresses and strains, and overall panel stiffness for each of many load conditions. General panel cross sections can be treated.
