FEM Buckling Analysis of a Lattice Composite Adaptor in Order to find the Optimum Dimensions

Due to high acceleration movement of lunch vehicle during lunching from earth, adaptors are under high compression forces at this step. Therefore buckling of this structure is highly possible. In this study a Carbon/Epoxy lattice adaptor is analyzed by the FEM software (Abacus). The buckling load of this structure must be higher than maximum static load which can be tolerated. The FEM software was linked to MATLAB in order to find the optimum dimension of the structure with the above mentioned condition.
