Abstract

The Space industry demands for lighter and cheaper launcher transport systems. Structural weight reduction by exploitation of structural reserves in composite launcher structures contributes to this aim, however, it requires accurate, fast and experimentally validated stability analysis of real structures under realistic loading conditions. Structures in space applications can be imperfection sensitive because their maximum load is often equal or close to the first buckling load. The current design guidelines were developed only for metallic structures and are from 1968. For composites structures no appropriate guidelines exist. To fill this gap DLR developed a promising “Single Perturbation Load Approach” which exploits the worst imperfections idea efficiently. In the running EU project DESICOS (New Robust DESIgn Guideline for Imperfection Sensitive COmposite Launcher Structures) this approach will be further investigated and combined with a stochastic approach resulting in a future design approach. This chapter deals with the state-of-the-art in buckling of imperfection sensitive composite structures, recent investigations on the new design approach, and the DESICOS project. It describes the line of actions of the new design approach, and specifies the theoretical and experimental work to be carried out.
