| Abstract: | Stiffened cylindrical shells are the major components of aerospace structures. In this study global buckling load for a generally cross and horizontal grid stiffened composite cylinder was determined. This was accomplished by developing an analytical model for determination of the equivalent stiffness parameters of a grid stiffened composite cylindrical shell. This was performed by taking out a unit cell and smearing the forces and moments due to the stiffeners onto the shell. Based on this analysis the extensional, coupling and bending matrices (A, B and D matrices, respectively) associated with the stiffeners were determined. This stiffness contribution of the stiffeners was superimposed with the stiffness contribution of the shell to obtain the equivalent stiffness parameters of the whole panel. Making use of the energy method the buckling load was solved for a particular stiffener configuration. Buckling test was also performed on a stiffened composite cylinder and compared with analytical results. Finally, using the analytical model developed, parametric analysis of some of the important design variables was performed and based on these results conclusions were drawn. |
