Summary / Conclusions
The NASA SP 8007 guideline is very conservative if composite structures shall be designed.The Single-Pertubation load approach is a promissing alternative.The knowledge of the minimum pertubation is needed.A new empirical formula for the critical pertubation load P1, which is a good assumption for the minimum pertubation load, was developed. This formula was in a first step developed for metallic structures.In future work it will be extended for composite materials.
