Buckling and Post-buckling Characteristics of Stiffened Panels Under Compression-Shear Load

Abstract

Experiments have been conducted to investigate the buckling and post-buckling behavior of a T-the stiffened composite panel in size of 2412 by 1420mm under a compression-shear load. DIC was used to monitor the local buckling and post-buckling, and the results were compared with that of strain gauges. The results show that DIC can accurately capture the displacement field and the whole progress of the buckling mode transition, and the buckling modes at different times are clearly and intuitively, the error of the initial buckling load is less than 5% compared with the load measured by the strain gauge. Four different buckling determination methods based on strain gauge measurement and DIC measurement are presented, and a more accurate and convenient method for judging buckling load is obtained. The initial principal strain angle is related to the ratio of shear stress to compressive stress and changes greatly after the buckling, and the fracture angle approaches 45 degrees. The experimental results show that the hole with 6mm in the weighted middle of the web has a slight effect on the buckling load but has an obvious effect on the load capacity.
