BUCKLING OF AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES
BUCKLINGBuckling is a failure mode characterized by a sudden failure of a structural member subjected to high compressive stresses, where the actual compressive stresses at failure are smaller than the ultimate compressive stresses that the material is capable of withstanding
Buckling is also described as failure due to elastic instability
BUCKLING TYPES
Stable or Gentle Buckling is a buckling in which the displacements increase in a controlled fashion as loads are increased, ie. the structure's ability to sustain loads is maintained
Unstable or violent Buckling is a buckling in which the displacements increase instantaneously, the load carrying capacity nose- dives and the structure collapses catastrophically
STRUCTURAL MEMBERS• Column
– A structural member which transmits the load of the structure above it through compression to other members
• Strut– A structural member designed to resist longitudinal
compression• Plate / Panel
– A structural member whose third dimension is small compared to the other two dimensions
• Shell– A thin shell is defined as a shell with a thickness which is
relatively small compared to its other dimensions and in which deformations are not large compared to thickness. A primary difference between a shell structure and a plate structure is that, in the unstressed state, the shell structure has curvature as opposed to plates structures which are flat
COLUMN BUCKLING• Column buckling
– Buckling is defined as an instance of lateral bending or bowing of the column shape due to a compressive load on a column.

PLASTICITY REDUCTION FACTOR
• If the elastic buckling stress is more than the yield stress, plasticity reduction factor has to be applied. For columns, plasticity reduction factor is applied through tangent modulus
INELASTIC BUCKLING• For a column with intermediate length, buckling occurs after the
stress in the column exceeds the proportional limit of the column material and before the stress reaches the ultimate strength. This kind of situation is called inelastic buckling

CRIPPLING•Crippling is defined as the post-buckling failure of a axial section that is comprised of plate elements joined together at their boundaries•All the members subjected to axial load are to be checked for crippling•When local buckling takes around 0.7 - 0.8 Fcy, The crippling stress will be same as buckling stress
Web and Flange elements
CRIPPLING -ASSUMPTIONS
•Material is isotropic
•Material is ductile
•b/t ratio is less than 3.0
•Transverse shear is ignored
• Webs are assumed to have constant thickness
Crippling stress
STRESS DISTRIBUTION•As the buckling takes place, the increasing load is transferred to the corners. •Stress build up at the corner after the buckling is not well understood•Boundary restraint between flange and plate element is unknown
FLANGE CRIPPLINGThe crippling stress is defined by dividing the failure load at which the flange collapses by the area of the flange.
Pre-Buckled Post-Buckled
Stress distribution in a flange
WEB CRIPPLINGThe crippling of a web is similar to flange. The stress is uniform before buckling and increases near the edge after buckling
Stress distribution in a Post-Buckled web
INPLANE WARPING
Unrestrained Restrained
The post-buckled stress distribution in a flange or web is affected by the presence of restraints for in-plane lateral deflections at the un-loaded edges
WEB CRIPPLING STRESS DISTRIBUTION
Straight unloaded edgesUnloaded edges free to warp in the plane of plate
POST BUCKLING OF PLATESThick plates crippling will take place in plastic range and for thin plates in elastic range

PREDICTION OF CRIPPLING STRESS (BOEING)
• Divide the section into segments. • For each segment, determine the ratio of the width
to the thickness (b/t) • For each segment, determine the boundary
conditions (1EF or NEF)• For each segment, determine the crippling stress
and crippling load based on the method of analysis appropriate for the b/t region
• Add the contribution of the crippling load from each segment to obtain the total crippling load
• The crippling stress is obtained by dividing the crippling load by the calculated area

The bulb will fall into one of the following three categories:
1) Case 1: Diameter large enough (D > Dmin)The flange may be considered a web (NEF) for
the purposes of the crippling analysis2) Case 2: Intermediate diameter (2 tf < D < Dmin)The flange may be considered as a web (NEF), but
the crippling stress for this segment (including the bulb) will be adjusted to 70% of the stress
calculated assuming the no-edge-free condition3) Case 3: Diameter too small (D < 2 tf )Consider the flange as one edge-free. The area of the
bulb should be added to the flange area, and bf
should be measured to the tip of the bulb
SHEET EFFECTIVE WIDTH• Aircraft structures consists of
sheet and stringers together
• Sheet and stringer deform together. Hence, the effective sheet width has to be taken into account in calculating the crippling stress
• Ignoring the sheet will be over conservative design

METHODOLOGY• Calculate a/b from plate dimensions measured between panel
supports • Determine edge restraint fixity3) Select the buckling coefficient curve for the edge condition most nearly
representing the support conditions existing, enter curve with a/b from (1) and obtain "K" (or "k"). If the support condition is believed to be between two conditions represented by curves, obtain "K" for both, calculate average value or interpolate as desired.
4) Determine buckling stress from equation 12. If this stress is in the elastic range, η = 1.0 (skip to step (5))
5) If the stress is in the plastic range, obtain the proper plasticity reduction factor η
6) If the material is Alclad material, calculate the cladding reduction factor
INCREASING THE BUCKLING LOAD OF PANELS
There are three primary effective ways to increase the buckling load of a panel:1) Decrease the "b" dimension of the panel2) Increase the thickness of the panel3) Increase the fixity of the panel supports
