ABSTRACT
The study presented the results of model experimental investigations on box structures made using additive manufacturing. The examined models had walls with reinforcements in the form of corrugations. An experiment was also conducted using a reference model without stiffeners. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of corrugation geometry on the shape and magnitude of structure deformations, as well as on the level of critical loads. The experiments were conducted using a dedicated research stand. Nonlinear numerical analyses of selected structure variations were also carried out using finite element method-based software.
