Influence of Stiffener Structural Parameters on Compress Buckling Performance of Alloy Aluminum Stiffened Panel

Abstract:

Finite element method (FEM) is applied to analyze the buckling performance of alloy aluminum stiffened panel subjected to uniform axial compression. With the skin thickness and stiffener pitch unchanged, the influence of flange thickness, flange length, stiffener thickness and stiffener height on compress buckling critical loads are studied by FEM. Important parameters influencing the buckling performance are identified and the results offer a referenced measure for the optimization design and engineering application of the structure.
