The effect of the percentage of steered plies on the bending-induced buckling performance of a variable stiffness composite cylinder

The fiber steering capability of automated fiber placement machines offers the designers more room to fully exploit the directional properties of composite materials. Circumferential stiffness tailoring by fiber steering can considerably increase the bending-induced buckling performance of laminated...
