Abstract
The buckling and post-buckling behavior of curved cylindrical stringer-stiffened laminated composite and metal panels had been investigated both numerically and experimentally. The results were compared to those of cylindrical stringer-stiffened laminated composite shells to yield a way of determining the optimal structure to be used for axial compression loading. For the present tested structures, the composite panels showed the best load-weight ratio.
