LAMINATE STIFFNESS TAILORING FOR IMPROVED BUCKLING PERFORMANCE
Jun 06, 2023
This article presents an algorithm to tailor bending stiffness properties for double angle-ply laminates. A database of orthotropic double angle-ply laminates is derived for non-crimp fabric configurations, highlighting the severity of this manufacturing constraint compared to the use of single unidirectional layers. The significance of the new algorithm is demonstrated through the development of a range of new laminate designs, all with matched isotropic bending stiffness properties, allowing the isolated effects of axial stiffness to be studied, in this case to improve the critical length at which the transition from local to overall mode instability occurs in thin walled columns.
