Abstract:

To consider the effects of gaps and overlaps on the buckling performance of variable stiffness laminates, the defect proportion was used to characterize the degree of material defects in the local area at first. Then, a simplified model for the material with defects was proposed based on the Representative Volume Element (RVE), and a computational method for material properties considering defects was established. After that, the binary image method was used to identify the location and percentage of defects of the elements in the finite element model. Based on the computational method proposed, different elements were given different properties. Finally, the buckling performance was calculated by the finite element model. A comparison with the experimental results shows that the buckling performance obtained with the proposed method is in good agreement with the experimental results, and the accuracy of the prediction results is within 7%. In addition, the accuracy of the method is less affected by the mesh size, so the computational expense can be effectively reduced.
