Post-Buckling: Post-Buckled Composite Stiffened Panel Under Shear
Post-Buckling
Buckling vs Post-buckling
in general buckling does not imply failure especially
for plates
P
Pcr
wcenter
beam post-buckling curve is flat and failure strains are reached at low
post-buckling loads
Buckling vs Post-buckling
post-buckled (stiffened) skins are significantly lighter
but have additional challenges:
susceptible to skin/stiffener separation failure
where only resin holds the structure (unless
fasteners or other means are used to hold it together)
susceptible to the creation and growth of
delamination under fatigue loading especially at high
post-buckling factors

Post-Buckling Scenarios
Skin buckling as a whole (stiffeners only
increase the bending stiffness of the skin)
Skin buckling between the bays (stiffeners
act as panel breakers)
Stiffeners buckle as columns or locally
(crippling)
Frames do not buckle!
Post-buckling scenarios
Most efficient:
Skin between stiffeners and frames buckles
first
