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: This paper presents a semianalytical method for the prediction of interlaminar stresses and displacements near the free edges and ply cracks in general angle-ply laminates subjected to biaxial extensions and/or in plane ...

Abstract: Experimental, numerical, and theoretical analyses were conducted of the axial load resistance of a novel ultrahigh-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) grouted square hollow section (SHS) tube sleeve connection. ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations were carried out on the thermal and mechanical properties of sleeve grouting materials subjected to elevated temperatures up to 900°C. The thermal properties, including thermal conductivity, ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls are widely used in high-rise structures in earthquake-prone areas. Damaged by the earthquakes in the past decades, these buildings need retrofitting in order to increase the ...
