Abstract
Buckling tests have been performed on 6 different laminates. The objectives were to select the best configuration for application in hat-stiffened panels and to investigate how close the test results could be estimated with classical plate theory. A description of test specimens, testing equipment and instrumentation is given. The problem of deriving the buckling load from the test data is discussed, as well as the difficulties encountered in obtaining stiffness matrices with the lamination theory for the specimens at hand. A comparison between experimental results and theory is made for Young’s modulus, buckling load and post-buckling behavior of the laminates.
