Abstract:

Subject of study. Efficiency of using a stereoscopic scanner of the proposed structure for measuring the buckling of carbon fiber-reinforced composite plates. Purpose of the work. Determining the parameters of stereoscopic scanner elements with a small number of structural elements, which allows for increasing the reliability of stability assessment and prediction of critical loads of composite structural elements used in mechanical engineering while reducing the risks of matrix cracking and delamination. Method. Plate stability was assessed by measuring horizontal deflection under increasing axial load using a stereo vision scanner. Tests were conducted on plates with widths of 15, 20 and 25 mm under three end conditions: both fixed, both pinned, and one fixed-one pinned. Finite element models were developed to validate the experiments. Main results. The average percentage error between numerical and experimental maximum horizontal deflections measured by the machine-vision method was 3.44%. Practical significance. The machine-vision method effectively evaluates buckling behaviour of carbon fiber composite plates and can support prediction of critical loads for safer structural design.
