Abstract

Composites are widely using in automobile, marine and aircraft industry. Most of the aircraft interiors are made using composites due to its high strength to weight ratio property and this interior component are using composite beams and columns as support structures. Most of these columns will undergo compression load due to withstanding heavy loads. The omega section is fabricated using wooden tools. Finite element analysis is carried out using Midas NFX to predict the test load and compression test have been done. The present study has been conducted to understand the compressive and buckling behaviour of the column.
