Approximate computational model for the local postbuckling of omega‐stringer‐stiffened composite panels

Optimization of Composite, Stiffened, Imperfect Panels under Combined Loads for Service in the Postbuckling Regime

Local buckling and postbuckling of panels stiffened by stringers and rings and subjected to combined in-plane loads is explored with the use of a single module model that consists of one stringer and a width of panel skin equal to the stringer spacing. The cross-section of the skin-stringer module is discretized and the displacement field is assumed to vary trigonometrically in the axial direct...

the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...

Nonlinear Finite Element Formulation for The Postbuckling Analysis of Stiffened Composite Panels with Imperfections

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Postbuckling analysis of stiffened laminated composite panels, using a higher-order shear deformation theory

The investigation aims at: (i) constructing a modified higher-order shear deformation theory in which Kirchhoff's hypotheses are relaxed, to allow for shear deformations; (ii) validating the present 5-parameter-smeared-laminate theory by comparing the results with exact solutions; and (iii) applying the theory to a specific problem of the postbuckling behavior of a flat stiffened fiber-reinforc...
