Application of Matlab to Data Processing of Buckling Experiments

In this paper, matlab programs were written to efficiently process the experiment data for buckling and post-buckling of delaminated composite beams. In the experiments, data collected from 810 Material Test System (MTS) and from dial indicator were sampled at different frequencies, thus were not matched with each other in time. To solve this problem matlab programs were developed. It shows that using the developed program, the experiment data from the two testing systems are corresponding and truly reflect the changes of mechanical parameters in the buckling and post-buckling process of specimens in the experiments.
