Abstract: The stress analysis of a central transverse crack in a stiffened orthotropic panel under tension is treated in this paper. The existing analytical techniques for the isotropic problem of a ...

Abstract: A governing design synthesis relationship is derived for the primary structural weight of membrane-type pressure vessels. The structural efficiency is associated with the configuration and the ...

Abstract: The theorems of limit analysis are applicable to an approximate theory if, and only if, the approximate equilibrium and strain-rate-velocity relations are such that the principle of virtual work ...
