Abstract

Abstract A thermoplastic matrix composite flat panel stiffened by induction welded stringers, according to a typical aerospace configuration was tested. A Poly‐Ether‐Ether‐Ketone (PEEK) matrix reinforced by carbon fibers was adopted. The aim of this study was to investigate the shear buckling, a load condition that is very common for the aerospace structures, of the panel obtained using a non‐conventional approach for its fabrication, that is, induction welding. A finite element (FE) model capable to describe the buckling and the postbuckling behavior of the stiffened panel was also developed and compared with experimental results. Testing was performed using fixtures suitably designed to transmit a pure shear to the panel, and strain gauges were mounted on the external surfaces to measure the deformations.
