Abstract: A fully nonlinear finite element analysis for prediction of localization∕delocalization and compression fracture of moderately thick imperfect transversely isotropic rings, under applied hydrostatic ...

Abstract: A fully nonlinear finite element analysis for prediction of localization in moderately thick imperfect rings under applied hydrostatic pressure is presented. The present nonlinear finite element solution methodology includes ...

Abstract: A fully nonlinear finite-element analysis for postbuckling response of a moderately thick imperfect ring under applied hydrostatic pressure is presented. The fully nonlinear theory employed here, in contrast to the von ...

Abstract: Heretofore unavailable closed-form solutions are obtained for unbalanced symmetric as well as balanced unsymmetric angle-ply, moderately thick cylindrical shells subjected to axially varying ...

Abstract: A hitherto unavailable analytical or strong (differential) form of solution to the boundary‐value problem of a shear‐flexible (moderately thick) rigidly clamped isotropic homogeneous rectangular plate, subjected to transverse ...

Abstract: This paper investigated the flattening effect of negative Gaussian curvature on simply supported (SS) thick asymmetrically laminated cross-ply panels in the absence of surface-parallel edge restraints. A higher-order shear ...
