Laminated composite skin-T-stringer module

This slide shows an example of a T-stiffened panel module made of laminated composite material. This is Fig. 2 from the paper, "Optimum design of composite stiffened panels under combined loading", by D. Bushnell and W. D. Bushnell, Computers & Structures, Vol.55, No. 5, pp. 819-856, 1995.

This slide shows a laminated composite panel layup in the various segments of the single skin-stringer module, geometry, decision variables, and material properties in the T-stiffened panel under combined loads.

The panel can be loaded far into its local postbuckling regime.
