| Abstract: |
The woven structure made of naturally curved (in-plane) ribbons has smooth geometry and fewer geometric imperfections, but there is no study of its buckling mechanical properties under vertical loads. The aim of this paper is to investigate buckling mechanical properties of spherical woven structures. Three spherical woven structures with different ribbon types and six new spherical woven structures with different ribbon widths and thicknesses were designed and the quasi-static vertical compression tests were carried out. The buckling load of spherical woven structures were studied by nonlinear finite element and ring buckling theory. Results indicate that the failure mode of the spherical weave structure under vertical loading can be divided into two stages, where a flat contact region forms between the spherical weave structure and the rigid plate and inward dimple of ribbons. Spherical weave structures using naturally curved (in-plane) ribbon weaving have better buckling stability than those woven with straight ribbon. Based on theoretical and finite element analysis, we propose a buckling load equation and buckling correction factor equation for the new spherical weave structure under vertical compression load. The formula is validated and has good agreement with the test results, which could help to design the stability of spherical weave structures with in-plane ribbons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
