Abstract: Hybrid laminated composite plates are analyzed using a nine‐noded isoparametric plate finite element based on Mindlin's theory. The shear flexibility is included in the finite element modeling. Shear flexibility is of ...

Abstract: The initial buckling behavior of thick laminated composite curved panels with random material properties subjected to various in-plane edge loads has been investigated. For this purpose, an approach is presented to obtain ...

Abstract: Composites exhibit a considerable amount of variation in their material properties because their fabrication/manufacturing process involves a large number of parameters that cannot be controlled effectively. In the present ...
