Study on the lateral torsional buckling of composite thin-walled beam

Aircraft structures are made of thin-walled as it provides higher stiffness to weight ratio compared solid sections, but is prone buckling due its low and slenderness the individual element. One types that can impact integrity a beam lateral torsional which caused by simultaneous bending twisting cross-sections happens before beam's material strength reached. Therefore, design such structure should ensure applied load on does not surpass critical load. Moreover, modern aircraft laminated composites achieve specific strength. Thus in this work, an analysis composite performed evaluate cantilever beam. ANSYS used find results obtained from numerical method with previous analytical studies. Finally parametric study conducted for different layup stacking sequence dimensions best highest
