Crippling stress and failure behavior of Z-section graphite/epoxy composite laminated stringers are investigated by the nonlinear finite element method. Stringers are idealized using 9-node laminated shell element. The complete unloading model is introduced into the finite element method for the progressive failure analysis. A modified Riks method is used to trace the post-failure equilibrium path after local buckling. Finite element results are validated with previous experimental results. The results show that the most important parameter affecting the crippling stress of Z-section stringers is the flange width. In terms of stacking sequence. the highest cripping stress is found at the stringer with $[{\pm}45/0/90]s$ lamination.

Z-section composite stringers with various lengths and flange-widths are tested in axial compression for the validation of a finite element algorithm to calculate the buckling and crippling stresses of composite laminated stringers. The stacking sequence considered is $[{\pm}45/0/90]s$. Strain gages are attached to each specimen, and deflection and end-shortening are obtained by two LVDTs. The buckling load is determined from the load vs. strain response, load vs. end-shortening curves, and load vs. out-of-plane deflection curves. The ultimate stress after local buckling is used as the crippling stress. Comparison between finite element and experimental results shows good agreement in the local buckling and crippling stresses.

항공기 날개 및 동체의 보강재로 사용되는 스트링거가 압축하중을 받게되면 플렌지와 웹에서의 부분좌굴이 발생하고 이는 좌굴이 발생하지 않은 부분에 과도한 하중이 걸리게 하여 스트링거의 전체적인 하중지지능력을 현저히 감소시킨다. 이러한 손상의 형태가 크리플링(Crippling)이다. (중략)

In this study, a satellite payload module was optimized by considering local stabilities. As design constraints in the satellite structure, local instabilities such as wrinkling, dimpling, crippling for honeycomb structures and crippling failure mode for beams were considered in addition to frequency and stress constraints. The constraints for the local instabilities (uncommon in general structures) were taken for the optimization of a satellite structures under severe launching environments. The analysis was performed combining the finite element analysis and optimization program. From the optimization results, it was found that frequency, crippling and wrinkling were the most critical constraints to achieve the design goals. Also, the importance of each design variable was estimated. Finally, the optimum design of the payload module was achieved for various design constraints and design parameters.

The corrugated web is a plate that was manufactured with a corrugated shape. It is widely used in bridges, buildings, and culverts. A girder with a corrugated web can be crippled by local, in-plane compressive loads. Due to its high out-of-plane strength, however, a stiffener is usually not needed in trapezoidally corrugated plates, and the corrugated profile of the web can change the boundary condition of the edge load. Some researchers have studied the strength of the partial-edge loading of the trapezoidally corrugated web, but they have not considered the profile of corrugation in their studies. This paper investigates the influence of the corrugate profile. A parametric study was conducted on the shape parameter using the finite-element method. In this parametric study, the relationship between the corrugated shape and the partial-edge strength was also investigated by dividing the partial-edge strength into the web capacity and the flange capacity.

In author's previous paper, a finite element algorithm was presented to calculate the buckling and crippling stresses of composite laminated stringers. In this study, for the validation of the finite element analysis, Z-section composite stringers of different lengths and flange-widths were tested in axial compression. The stacking sequence of graphite/epoxy is [$\pm$45/0/90]s. Strain gages were attached to each specimen to get the strain response. Deflection and end-shortening were obtained by a displacement transducer. The buckling and crippling loads are determined from the strain response, load vs. end-shortening curves, and load vs. out-of-plane deflection curves. Comparison between finite element and experimental results shows good agreement in the buckling, local buckling, and crippling stresses.

The initial buckling of thin walled structures does not result in immediate failure. This post buckling capability is used to achieve light weight design, and final failure of thin walled structure is called crippling. To predict the failure load, empirical methods are often used for thin walled structures in design stage. But empirical method accuracy depend on geometry. In this study, experimental, empirical and numerical study of the crippling behavior of I-section beam made of carbon-epoxy are performed. The progressive failure analysis model to simulate the crippling failure is evaluated using the test results. In this study, commercial software LS-DYNA is utilized to compute the collapse load of composite specimen. Six kinds of specimens were tested in axial compression where correlation between analytical and experimental results has performed. From the results, we have partially conclude that the flange width-to-thickness ratio is found to influence the accuracy of empirical and numerical method.

If of application of the deep deckting floor in long span more than 6m, the deflection caused by the construction load occurred high. Because the constructing-works and safety by this deflection, take actually supports to laborers working on the deck. However, installed supports are having difficultly such as the restricted passage, deficiency of working space, and lowering of efficiency. And toward-opening deck is seen as local buckling of web plate, flexural-torsional buckling, and gradually opening of corrugated decking. In this study, we will suggest a deep decking floor system that reinforced with both ends cap plates for toward-opneing decking change from opening to closing. The constructing deflection of a deep decking more than 6m must be satified 30mm and L/180 as proposed. Full-scale field tests loading by sand conducted a deep decking reinforced with and without cap plate. In conclusion, the specimen reinforced with cap plates have shown that to ensure the negative moment $wl^2/18$. And constructing-deflection of deep decking shown that to satisfy the evaluation value (L/180 or 30mm).
