Real-time data acquired under combat conditions will have different types of imperfection; two representative classes of imperfection are vagueness and ambiguity in the data. A motivational example is created in this paper to explore the prototyping of a hybrid processing model that can formally process both vague (fuzzy) and ambiguous (probabilistic) data types. The issue is to integrate the h...

The design of thin-walled cylinders in axial compression is limited by sensitivity to geometric imperfections. This paper focuses on reducing this imperfection from a perspective. By using variable-angle composites, the load paths are tailored reduce effective area over which imperfections can initiate buckling. Continuous Tow Shearing (CTS) one such manufacturing technique. It does not cause d...

This article provides a fully analytical approach for nonlinear equilibrium path of rectangular sandwich plates. The core of structure is made of symmetric cross-ply laminated composite and the outer surfaces are piezoelectric actuators which perfectly bonded to inner core. The structure is subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical loads simultaneously. One side of plate is rested on Pasternak typ...

A UNA RIFLESSIONE TEORICA FONDANTE RIFERITA AL TERMINE IXD, E NON AVREBBE TUTTI I TORTI. QUELLO DI FAR EVOLVERE LE COSE NATURALMENTE È UN ATTEGGIAMENTO MOLTO PRAGMATICO, DI ESTREMA EFFICACIA QUANDO SI HA A CHE FARE CON L'EMERGERE DI UN NUOVO SETTORE. OGGI PERÒ L'IXD PUÒ CONTARE SU UNA DISCRETA FIDELIZZAZIONE, SU ALCUNE SCUOLE DI FORMAZIONE E SULL'APPORTO DI "ADEPTI" PROVENIENTI DA NUMEROSE DISC...
