Numerical and Experimental Buckling and Post - Buckling Analysis of Composite Cylindrical Panel with Delamination

Abstract:

The present work is devoted to the analysis of a buckling behavior of a cylindrical composite panel. The considered structure is subjected to the uniform axial compression. The wall of the panel consists of the 8 layers. In addition, in the geometrical center of the structure there is a square delamination located between the fourth and the fifth layer. The main goal is to determine the buckling and post - buckling behavior as well as the influence of the delamination on the stability of the structure. The nonlinear numerical analysis is carried out with aid of the FEM method. The experimental verification is also performed. The results obtained from numerical and experimental analysis show very similar behavior of the structure.
