Abstract
A hierarchical-level failure analysis method from carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRC), unit-cell lattice to lattice stiffened component was developed to predict the failure load of lattice stiffened panels. A nondestructive method was applied to identify the composite parameters of lattice ribs. Axial compression experiments were carried out to reveal the failure pattern and load of unit-cell lattice and lattice-stiffened panels. Compared with the standard unidirectional laminate strength, these component failure analyses suggest knock-down factors (KDFs) to include the attenuation effect of the rib node intersection. The failure loads of CFRC lattice stiffened panels were predicted by the KDFs. The research lays a good foundation to design and manufacture large-sized CFRC lattice structures.
