Journal ArticleDOI
The active buckling control of some composite column strips using piezoceramic actuators
S.P. Thompson,J. Loughlan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the overall flexural buckling control of composite column strips using piezoceramic actuators and showed that by applying a controlled voltage to the actuators, a reactive moment will be induced at the column centre thereby removing the lateral deflections and enforcing the column to behave in a perfectly straight manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing the post-buckling response of a composite panel structure utilising shape memory alloy actuators – a smart structural concept
S.P. Thompson,J. Loughlan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and numerical program has been conducted, of which, results will be presented in detail in the following sections: the manufacturing methodology of the hybrid SMA/carbon/epoxy panel is outlined, the panel specimen features 0.3 mm diameter shape memory alloy wires embedded and partially consolidated to the host matrix at desired locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive post-buckling response of carbon fibre composite plates employing SMA actuators
S.P. Thompson,J. Loughlan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the SMA-carbon-epoxy plates were used to enhance the post-buckling behavior of laminated plate structures while under the influence of a uniaxial load.
Journal ArticleDOI
The buckling performance of composite stiffened panel structures subjected to combined in-plane compression and shear loading
TL;DR: In this paper, the buckling behavior of some composite stiffened panel structures subjected to in-plane compression and shear load combinations is analyzed using the finite strip method, a computer aided engineering analysis procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The buckling response of carbon fibre composite panels with reinforced cut-outs
J. Eiblmeier,J. Loughlan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of cutout diameter, reinforcement lay up and thickness on the buckling stability of square CFRP panels was investigated using NASTRAN Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
