Abstract: The formulation and solution of the large elastic axisymmetric deformation problem corresponding to a membrane shell from an initially flat laminated composite material is provided. The numerical ...

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: In this paper, we investigate an alternate approach to the design of controllers for positioning and damping of a system which can be reduced to an equivalent system of springs and masses. ...
