Analytical study of composite panel for manufacturing boats by theory of heterogeneous section

Abstract

This job aims analyze the bending of a composite sandwich panel idealized for marine applications by means of the classical theory of Solid Mechanics. The composite panel basis of this study is proposed by Ribeiro, Wahrhaftig and Nascimento [1]. Mathematical simplifications were made to fit the employed theory with the panel. The developed analytical formulations aimed at the calculation of normal stresses in bending and is based on classical concepts of heterogeneous section. Some numerical simulations are performed in the panel to analyze outcome on dimensional variations induced. The formulation developed adequately describes the behavior of composite structural analysis. This enables pre-design and directing more complex stages of more sophisticated computational models.
