Free Vibrations of Unsymmetrically Laminated Anisotropic Plates with Clamped Edges
(Journal of Composite Materials, 1969-04-01)
A linear analysis is presented for determining the natural frequen cies of vibration of laminated anisotropic rectangular plates. The plate may consist of an arbitrary number of thin orthotropic layers, the major ...
Wrinkling of Composite-facing Sandwich Panels Under Biaxial Loading
(Journal of Sandwich Structures and Materials, 2004-05-01)
The problem of face wrinkling in sandwich structures was identified as an important failure mode and first analyzed in 1940 by Gough et al. [1], who used a Winkler-type elastic foundation to model the core. This work was ...
On the Choice of Shear Correction Factor in Sandwich Structures
(Journal of Sandwich Structures and Materials, 2002-01-01)
The first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is a relatively simple tool that has been found to yield accurate results in the non-local problems of sandwich structures, such as buckling and free vibration. However, a ...
Analysis of Ductile Bursting in Pressure Vessels of Texture-Hardening and Filament-Wrapped Materials
(Journal of Composite Materials, 1968-07-01)
Analyses are presented for predicting the strength governed by the plastic tensile instability (PTI) phenomenon in thin-walled cylindrical and spherical pressure vessels constructed of texture- hardening alloys and with ...
Structural Theory for Laminated Anisotropic Elastic Shells
(Journal of Composite Materials, 1967-10-01)
A linear theory is formulated for analysis of small deflections of thin shells with arbitrary geometrical configuration and laminated of an arbitrary number of layers of different thicknesses, orientations, and anisotropic ...
A Method for Measuring Planar Residual Stresses in Rectangularly Orthotropic Materials
(Journal of Composite Materials, 1968-04-01)
A semidestructive method has been developed for determining the principal residual stresses and directions in rectangularly orthotropic materials. The reduction equations are based upon a set of functions that describe the ...
Buckling Analysis of Thick Laminated Plates: Higher-Order Theory with Rotatory Moments
(Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, 1999-09-01)
The higher-order shear deformable plate theory presented here concerns the buckling of laminated composite plates. The theory extends Reddy's higher-order theory (1984) to include the effect of rotatory moments sometimes ...
