Designing and analyzing grid stiffened panel to understand the effect of stiffeners on stiffness of the panel is crucial in designing grid stiffened cylinder for fuselage application. Traditionally only straight stiffeners were used due to limited manufacturing capabilities and in recent years GSS with curved stiffeners have become a reality. The present work is on flat grid stiffened panel and the focus is to realize the change in stiffness by converting straight stiffeners in an isogrid panel to curved stiffeners. An isogrid stiffened panel is identified from literature for which experimental results were available and was considered for replacing straight stiffeners with curved stiffeners. Defining and designing the curve for curved stiffeners which can be used to replace straight stiffeners in isogrid pattern is crucial. FE model of the grid stiffened fuselage panel with isogrid pattern identified from the literature for which experimental data was available was developed and evaluated for stiffness. For the same panel, curved grid pattern to enhance stiffness of the panel was designed following existing design procedure. FE model of the grid stiffened fuselage panel with designed curved stiffeners was developed and evaluated for stiffness. It is established that the stiffness of panel can be increased by minimum of 2.82% to maximum of 11.93% by using curved stiffeners of particular curvature as a replacement for straight stiffeners in isogrid pattern with a slight mass penalty.
