The aim is to create a fast analytical tool for optimizing the design of stiffened panels used in aircraft development.
Developed a computational tool in MATLAB to perform design iterations.
Utilized effective width and segmented methods for estimating loads.
Validated predictions using ABAQUS finite element models incorporating advanced failure criteria.
I-shaped panels showed better post-buckling capacity than J- and T-shaped panels.
Ultimate capacity is influenced more by stringer area ratio than skin thickness.
An optimal stringer-to-skin area ratio exists for maximum stability, cautioning against excessive skin thinning.
