Scale effects in buckling, postbuckling and crippling of graphite-epoxy Z-section stiffeners

Scale model testing can improve the cost-effectiveness of composite structures by reducing the reliance on full size component testing. Use of scale models requires the relationship be known between the responses of the small scale model and full size component. This relationship may be predicted by...
