Secondary Buckling and Progressive Failure Analysis of Tailored Composite Panels in Thin-Walled Box-Shape Composite Beams under Bending and Torsion

The postbuckling behavior and progressive failure of thin-walled box-shape composite beams (BSCBs) have been studied using a simplified composite panel model. It is shown that the carrying capacity of BSCBs under bending and torsion mainly depends on the postbuckling and progressive failure of panels. It is often necessary to identify and follow secondary buckling of tailored panels for correct estimation of carrying capacity. The failure process of stiffened composite panels is simulated in following path. The criterion of local failure in flange of stiffeners is applied to predict the ultimate failure of stiffened composite panels and thin-walled BSCBs. The comparison of the modeling and test shows that the prediction of BSCBs failure is satisfactory.

Analytical Result

In this paper experimental and FEA methods were used to study the damage propagation and failure properties of stiffened composite panels with discrete-source damage. The influence of discrete-source damage on residual strength of the composite panel was also investigated. The research results indicated that notched composite panel was suitable to simulate the damage property of stiffened composite panel with discrete-source damage. It has showed that there is high strain concentration at the notch end. And break-through of the stringer can make the load path changed. Based on different failure criteria, FEA method with progressive failure procedure was used to simulate the damage progression and failure procedure of the notched stiffened composite panel effectively. The analytical result was in good correspondence with the experimental data.

Thin Walled

The subject of the presented research was a thin-walled composite column made of CFRP (carbon-epoxy laminate). The test sample had a top-hat cross-section with a symmetrical arrangement of laminate layers [90/−45/45/0]s. The composite structure was subjected to the process of axial compression. Experimental and numerical tests for the loss of stability and load-carrying capacity of the composite construction were carried out. The numerical buckling analysis was carried out based on the minimum potential energy criterion (based on the solution of an eigenvalue problem). The study of loss of load-carrying capacity was performed on the basis of a progressive failure analysis, solving the problem of non-linear stability based on Newton-Raphson’s incremental iterative method. Numerical results of critical and post-critical state were confronted with experimental research in order to estimate the vulnerable areas of the structure, showing areas prone to damage of the material.
