Abstract: This paper presents a modeling and simulation method for studying ultrasonic guided wave propagation in hybrid metal-composites, also known as fiber-metal laminates. The objective is to develop an efficient and versatile ...

Abstract: Marine flexible risers are widely used in ocean oil and gas extraction, and need to withstand environment loads (wave and current) and the large offset of the floater. Therefore, the flexible riser is subjected to tension, ...

Abstract: Honeycomb sandwich structures (HSS) are widely used in the aerospace industry due to their high strength-to-stiffness ratio. However, these materials are susceptible to damage during manufacturing or service that can cause ...
