This paper presents the results of tests conducted on a curved stiffened panel to evaluate its damage tolerance capabilities. The panel was made from dry carbon preforms using Liquid Resin Infusion (LRI) followed by an Out-of-Autoclave curing. Non-linear Finite Element analysis results are also presented and compared to the measurements. Research funded by H2020 Clean Sky 2 JU (GA 807089).
