USE OF LARGE-DEFLECTION THEORIES FOR DESIGN OF FRP PANELS

The paper discusses how large-deflection theory forms the basis of the strength and deflection requirements for FRP single-skin laminates in the High Speed and Light Craft Rules of Det Norske Veritas (DNV). In the current version of the DNV rules the restrictions set for allowable deflections limit the benefits of using a non-linear formulation. The paper examines the benefits of using a non-linear formulation within the current deflection limits, and the potential benefits of relaxing these limits. The current non-linear formulation is evaluated and compared with non-linear finite element calculations.
