Buckling measurement and numerical analysis of M-type ribs stiffened composite panel

A combination of methods of strategy which combines optical measurements and numerical calculations was developed to study the buckling behavior and failure modes of composite panel with M-type stiffeners under compression. Utilizing the non-contact optical means for non-destructive testing, the full-field buckling deflections/evolution and compressive failure of the panel surface were systematically collected for mechanical analysis. Based on...
