Abstract
The buckling of laminated plates is measured with analytical procedures commonly established on the panels subjected to uniform in-plane edge loads. But, the real structural elements are subjected to varied kinds of non-uniform in-plane edge loads. This paper's main objective is to examine the effect of nonlinear edge loads in composite panels with and without stiffeners by using the finite element technique—ABAQUS. The plate and stiffeners are discretized using an eight-noded S8R5 shell element and a three-noded B32 beam element. The study addresses the effect of nonlinearly varying loads, the position of the stiffener, stiffener depth-to-width ratio, panel thickness, ply-orientation and number of stiffeners. It is observed from the study that each parameter significantly affects the buckling behaviour of stiffened plates.
