Nonlinear response and failure characteristics of clamped internally pressurized graphite-epoxy cylindrical panelsThe nonlinear response and failure characteristics of internally pressurized 4- to 16-ply cylindrical panels of graphite/epoxy are experimentally and analytically studied. Tests simulated the skin of a typical transport aircraft fuselage under loading to eventual failure. Aluminum test specimens were similarly tested and compared. All graphite/epoxy panels are found to withstand the internal pressures applied, which are well above the proof pressure loading expected for transport fuselage structures.
