Summary on Grant Application Form |

Buckling of thin walled structures is an area of research which is becoming increasingly important as structures are reduced in thickness and required to bear continually increasing loads. The proposed work will allow increased understanding of the buckling of one particular structure which is used widely particularly within the aeronautical and aeroengine industries. The work will provide experimental data on buckling loads and pre and post buckling behaviour. This will include the development of a real time Moir+ interferometry technique which will provide full field out-of-plane displacement representation. In addition analysis will be carried out using current design rules and finite element techniques to allow comparison with the experimental data collected and appraisal of these commonly used techniques. The work will be carried out in co-operation with Rolls Royce who have a strong interest in improving methods for the design of components such as gas turbine engine vanes.
