Abstract: Determination of sensitivity gradient is a major prerequisite for structural optimization, reliability assessment, and parameter identification. As the conventional deterministic sensitivity analysis cannot provide complete ...

Abstract: An investigation on stiffened isotropic and composite plates has been conducted to determine the geometric and material parameters for the plate, as well as the stiffener from experimental modal data and finite element ...

Abstract: The nonlinear stability characteristics of doubly curved panels made of three-phase composites with randomly dispersed carbon nanotubes [randomly dispersed carbon nanotube reinforced fiber composites (RD-CNTRFC)] subjected ...
