The main goal of this work is to provide a composite alternative to an already existing beam which has top hat cross section. The main part of this work is focused on using the finite element method to solve the problem. Firstly, a duralumin version will be used to calibrate the computation, then the problem will be solved for different options of slightly adjusted geometry. The computation itself will include general static analysis as well as analysis of buckling.
