A reinforced panel comprising: a composite skin; a plurality of stringers bonded to the skin; and one or more strain actuators, each positioned between an adjacent pair of stringers. A load is applied to the panel in the plane of the skin, and a local strain is applied to the skin by the strain actuators when the compressive load exceeds a predetermined threshold. This causes the skin to buckle and reduce interface stresses between the skin and the stringers.
