Abstract: The buckling problem of angle-ply laminated long hollow cylinders under axial compression is investigated on the basis of 3D elasticity considerations. The study is based on a recursive and successive approximation method ...

Abstract: The nonlinear behavior of rectangular thin plates with initial imperfections is studied in this paper by using an iterative boundary element and finite element method. The transverse and the in‐plane deformations of the ...

Abstract: The axisymmetric buckling problems of homogeneous and laminated circular plates, on the basis of three-dimensional elasticity considerations for both prebuckling and perturbed analyses, are studied in this paper. Based on ...

Abstract: Based on fundamental equations of three‐dimensional elasticity and giving up any assumptions about displacement models and stress distribution, the state equations for the axisymmetric free vibrations of transversely ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the autonomous flight problem for a quadrotor. The quadrotor must reach its mission waypoints to complete a package delivery task autonomously while avoiding obstructing obstacles. A new linear matrix ...

Abstract: Performance and reliability of structures will deteriorate with time as a result of the effects of various loads and the environment. This paper aims to develop a time-dependent reliability model of deteriorating structures ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the autonomous flight problem for a quadrotor. The quadrotor must reach its mission waypoints to complete a package delivery task autonomously while avoiding obstructing obstacles. A new linear matrix ...

Abstract: A study of controlling dynamical systems with uncertain and varying time delays is presented in this paper. The uncertain time delay is assumed to fall in a range with known upper and lower ...
