Abstract: |
The buckling behavior of stiffened panels is significantly influenced by material and geometric defects, making it a critical factor in ensuring structural integrity and safety. These panels are widely used in mechanical, aerospace, marine, and civil engineering applications due to their ability to enhance bending stiffness with minimal additional weight. Under high loads or stress concentrations, localized structural failures can initiate global buckling in stiffened panels. This study investigates how such defects affect the critical buckling load, stiffness, and thickness of stiffened panels. Two finite element analyses were conducted: a linear analysis to identify the initial buckling mode and a nonlinear analysis using the Riks algorithm in Abaqus CAE, incorporating localized imperfections. The simulations show that material and geometric defects can reduce buckling resistance depending on their severity. |
