Abstract:
This dataset encapsulates comprehensive information and experimental outcomes derived from the buckling test of variable-stiffness composite cylinders subjected to axial compression. It is the first dataset about the correlation between experimental and computational analysis for a Rapid-Tow Sheared composite cylinder, a recently developed advanced composite manufacturing technique. The data gathered during the test contains: raw test data for force, end-compression and strain gauges; and digital image correlation. The data for finite element validation is for a quasi-isotropic shell and variable-stiffness rapid tow-sheared shell. The data also contain imperfection signatures from a coordinate-measurement machine (CMM) of both cylinders. This compilation of documented data stands as a robust resource for future investigations, enabling comparative analyses, validation of theoretical models, and advancements in the domain of designing and testing composite structures, particularly those employing variable-stiffness manufacturing techniques.
