Abstract
In this paper, the compressive buckling behavior of aluminum alloy plates with an elliptical hole of various sizes is investigated. In order to improve the stability of these thin plates, T700/QY8911 composite laminate is used as a patch to repair the hole. The study included an analysis of the critical and post-critical behaviour using experimental and numerical methods. Experiments focus on buckling loads, post-buckling behavior and the relationship between sizes of holes and buckling load. Meanwhile, the buckling load and buckling mode are determined by finite element analysis, using linear analysis of eigenvalue problems modes, and then, the nonlinear analysis of structures with initiated geometrically imperfection is carried out, studying its post-buckling behavior, damage behavior and transfer of load. The results show that the buckling load of the open-hole specimen is related to size of opening. The existence of patch has a significant influence on stress distribution, and the buckling capability of repaired specimens is noticeably improved to the plate without a hole. And the compression experimental results are consistent with the numerical results, revealing that the developed finite element model of the structure is correct.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
