A review on buckling of the laminated composite panel under in-plane load

Abstract

The review paper deals with a literature review on buckling analysis by different methods of laminated plates with different types of stiffeners which has been conducted in recent years. Analytical studies, experimental studies, finite element analysis, and other computational methods have been implemented by researchers on the stiffened panels under compression and shear for determination of the buckling behavior of the panel with I-type, blade-type, T-type, and hat-stiffeners. Some literature has been found on the panel with the influence of variation of the stiffener depth for the determination of buckling capacity. Very few literatures, non-linear finite element (FE) have been implemented for the determination of the effect of debonding damage between plate-stiffener of the panel but have not been reported parametric data about the effect of cohesive parameters of plate-stiffener and delamination of plies of the composites stiffened panel for post-buckling analysis. This paper also provides a literature survey based on the buckling performance of the plates with the application of different shapes of stiffeners.
