Nonlinear Buckling Characteristic of the Graded Multiweb Structure of Heterogeneous Materials

The graded multiweb structure of heterogeneous anisotropic materials,which makes full use of the continuous,gradual and changing physical mechanical performance of material properties,has a widespread application in aeroplane aerofoil structure and automobile lightweight structure.On the basis of laminate buckling theory,the equivalent rigidity method is adopted to establish the corresponding constitutive relation and the non-linear buckling governing equation for the graded multiweb structure.In finding the solution,the critical load of buckling under different complicated boundary conditions together with combined loads were obtained and testification of the experimental analysis shows that the calculation results can satisfy the requirements of engineering design in a satisfactory way.Results obtained from the research say that:graded materials can reduce the concentrated stress on the interface in an effective way and weaken the effect of initial defect in materials and thereby improve the strength and toughness of materials.
