Abstract
In the present study, the stability and failure phenomena of thin-walled constructions subjected to axial compression, featuring a central cut-out, and constructed from composite materials were explored. These constructions were fabricated from a carbon–epoxy composite using the autoclave method. The research encompassed experimental assessments on actual specimens alongside numerical analyses employing the finite element approach within the ABAQUS® software. The investigation spanned the entire load spectrum up to the point of structural failure, incorporating both practical trials and simulation analysis. During the practical assessments, the study monitored the post-buckling response and captured acoustic emissions to thoroughly evaluate the composite’s failure mechanisms. Additionally, the ARAMIS system’s non-invasive three-dimensional scanning was employed to assess deformations. Theoretical simulations utilized a step-by-step failure analysis, initiating with failure onset as per Hashin’s theory and proceeding to failure progression based on an energy criterion. The simulation outcomes, particularly concerning the critical and post-critical phases, were juxtaposed with empirical data to identify the composite’s vulnerability zones. The comparison underscored a significant concordance between the simulation predictions and the empirical findings.
