Abstract: The interior problem of an orthotropic strip subject to any given continuous distribution of normal and shear loads is solved by means of a polynomial expansion for the Airy stress function. ...

Abstract: The post-buckling of stiffened, cross-ply laminated, circular determine the effects of shell lamination scheme and stiffeners on the reduced load-carrying capacity. The effect of geometric imperfection ...

Abstract: The problem of long-term creep deformation of reinforced concrete tensile elements strengthened by external fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) plates is studied. Formation of discrete cracks in concrete under tension is taken ...

Abstract: In a previous paper, the writers presented a one-dimensional analytical model for the static analysis of multicell, thin-walled beams with nonhomogeneous cross sections. The proposed model accounts for shear deformations ...
