[ 1 ] - The Effect of Geometrical Parameters of Cylindrical Composite Lattice Structures on Buckling Behavior

Due to their light weights and high load carrying capacities, composite structures are widely used in various industrial applications especially in aerospace industry. Stiffening ribs are the main features of lattice type composite structures. Strength to weight ratio is known to be as one of the most critical design parameter in these structures. In this study, the effect of some parameters su...

[ 2 ] - Investigation of Axial to Lateral Load ratio on the Buckling of Thin Orthotropic Cylindrical Shells

Buckling analysis of thin cylindrical shells is very important due to their production process.  Usually longitudinal and transversal stiffeners are used to increase the buckling stiffness. In this paper, considering a thin cylindrical shell with longitudinal and transversal ribs subjected to axial force and lateral pressure, the influence of different aspect of axial force to lateral pressure ...

[ 3 ] - Thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded thick sphere by differential quadrature method

Thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded hollow sphere is carried out and numerical solutions of displacement, stress and thermal fields are obtained using the Polynomial differential quadrature (PDQ) method. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the radial direction according to a power law function, ho...

[ 4 ] - Large Deflection Analysis of Compliant Beams of Variable Thickness and Non-Homogenous Material under Combined Load and Multiple Boundary Conditions

This paper studies a new approach to analyze the large deflection behavior of prismatic and non-prismatic beams of non-homogenous material under combined load and multiple boundary conditions. The mathematical formulation has been derived which led to a set of six first-order ordinary differential equations. The geometric nonlinearity was solved numerically using the multiple shooting method co...
