Effects of debonding defects on the postbuckling and failure behaviors of composite stiffened panel under uniaxial compression

Effects of stiffener debonding defects on postbuckling responses and failure behaviors of composite stiffened panels which have extensive applications in aerospace structures attract significantly increasing attention recently. Aiming to this problem, a series of nonlinear analyses comprehensively accounting for multiple failure modes including intra- and inter-laminar damage in composite laminates, adhesive layer damage between stiffeners and...
