Abstract
A simplified theoretical method is presented for analyzing the buckling behavior of a 3D braided composite cylindrical shell. The method is based on the refined anisotropic plate model. The buckling load with different values of geometric parameter is described. In order to verify the proposed model, the finite element package ANSYS is used to calculate the buckling load. Predictions from the proposed model correlate well with the simulation results. The results reveal that geometric parameters and braid angle have a significant effect on the buckling load.
