摘要

The object of this study is a thin-walled channel-section profile made of a carbon-epoxy composite subjected to axial compression. The study included analysis of the critical and weakly post-critical behaviour using experimental and numerical methods. As a result of the research conducted on a physical model of the structure, we determined a post-critical equilibrium path, which was then used to determine the critical load by approximation methods. Simultaneously, numerical calculations were performed by the finite element method. Their scope included a linear analysis of eigenvalue problems, the results of which led to determination of the critical load for the developed numerical model. The second step of the calculations consisted in performing a nonlinear analysis of the structure with geometrically initiated imperfection corresponding to the lowest buckling mode of the investigated profile. The numerical results were compared with the experimental findings, revealing that the developed numerical model of the structure was correct. The numerical simulations were performed using the ABAQUS (R) software.
