The Design and Analysis of Reinforcement Schemes for Pultruded Rod Stitched Efficient Unitized Structure Open-Panel Structures.

This paper presents the design and analysis of PRSEUS structures with no openings, small openings, and mid-sized openings. For the typical panel structure of the small-opening PRSEUS (Pultruded Rod Stitched Efficient Unitized Structure), five reinforcement schemes are developed using different types, such as mouth frames and convex platforms. Simulation analyses of tensile and compressive load are conducted. Compared to the non-opening PRSEUS panel, the small-opening PRSEUS panel's maximum von Mises stress increases by 4.57 times under uniaxial tensile load, and the maximum von Mises stress increases by 2.55 times under uniaxial compressive load. The reinforcement efficiency of the small-opening PRSEUS panel in all five schemes exceeded 30%, Scheme E exhibits the highest load-bearing efficiency under both tensile and compressive load conditions, at 673.63 MPa/kg and 503.38 MPa/kg, respectively. For the typical PRSEUS panel structure with a mid-sized opening, three reinforcement schemes are proposed based on different methods, such as grid and cross-shaped reinforcement. These address the impact of mid-sized openings on the bearing capacity of the PRSEUS pane by analyzing the bearing efficiency of the three schemes. Compared to the non-opening PRSEUS panel, the maximum von Mises stress increases by 15.22 times under a uniaxial tensile load and by 32.45 times under a uniaxial compressive load. The reinforcement efficiency of the mid-sized-opening PRSEUS panel in these three schemes is greater than 50%, with Scheme III providing the highest bearing efficiency under a tensile load at 20.74 MPa/kg and 50.66 MPa/kg under a compressive load.
