  Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore post-buckling strength potential of two different stiffener types and evaluate structural efficiencies of those by making a comparison. This has been done by first determining the buckling and post-buckling behavior of J- and hat-stiffened composite panels under compression loading. By making a structural efficiency definition, the experimental results of J- and hat-stiffened panels for initial buckling and post-buckled responses of the panels were compared with predicted and analytical results.
