Title: COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN OF COMPOSITE STIFFENED PANELS
Abstract: New software for the design of composite stiffened panels (CSP) is presented and integrated within the web application CADEC, mimicking the design process of CSP, including panel dimensions, skin and stiffener dimensions, flange and web laminates, all the way down to details such as lamina properties, which can be experimental values or calculated from fiber/matrix properties stored in the user’s database. This approach ensures consistency of data and results calculated at different design stages by enforcing known relations between the different objects in the web application, which provides online access, cloud storage and computation, as well as real time deployment of software updates. The CSP module allows the analyst to obtain the buckling load and visualize the buckling mode interactively. This is facilitated by a fast solver specifically developed for this application. Comparison with experimental data from the literature is presented.
