Abstract
Results are described of a numerical study of the initial compressive buckling and post-buckling behaviour of GRP panels reinforced by longitudinal hat-section stiffeners. Particular reference is made to the effects of interaction between local buckling of the panel laminate and overall column-like buckling involving bending of the stiffeners. Conclusions are reached regarding the influence of interactive effects on collapse strength and recommendations are made on allowance for these effects in design.
