Abstract

For the validation of new design methods reliable data from experiments are needed. This chapter focuses on the experimental activities performed at the buckling test facility of the DLR Institute of Composite Structures and Adaptive Systems. It presents the working of the buckling test facility, the advanced measurement systems, which are running in parallel to the tests, and gives exemplarily test results.
