Abstract: | Research on the mechanics of composite structures atnasa’s Langley Research Center is discussed. The advantages and limitations of special purpose and general purpose analysis tools
used in research are reviewed. Future directions in computational structural mechanics are described to address analysis short-comings.
Research results on the buckling and postbuckling of unstiffened and stiffened composite structures are presented. Recent
investigations of the mechanics of failure in compression and shear are reviewed. Preliminary studies of the dynamic response
of composite structures due to impacts encountered during crash-landings are presented. Needs for future research are discussed. |
