Building upon recent works devoted to the development of a stress-based layerwise model for multilayered plates, we explore an alternative finite-element discretization to the conventional displacement-based finite-element method. We rely on a mixed...
This paper presents a new analytical approach to the embedding of delamination in the layerwise theory, which can be applied to determine the stress–strain state in the cross-section of laminated plates with internal delamination. The new appro...
Hybrid corrugated sandwich (HCS) plates have become a promising candidate for novel thermal protection systems (TPS) due to their multi-functionality of load bearing and thermal protection. For hypersonic vehicles, the novel TPS that performs some st...
This paper presents the steady-state stress analysis of single-layered and multilayered plates and shells embedding Functionally Graded Material (FGM) layers under moisture conditions. This solution relies on an exact layer-wise approach; the formula...
In the current research, variable angle tow composites are used to improve the buckling and free vibration behavior of a structure. A one-dimensional (1D) Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) is employed to determine the buckling loads and natural frequ...
Composite Extrusion Modelling (CEM) is a new additive manufacturing process for metal that uses Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) materials. The MIM material is printed on a build plate using a moveable extruder. Subsequently, the printed greenparts are...
This paper presents, for the first time, the mechanical model and theoretical analysis of free vibration of a spinning functionally graded graphene nanoplatelets reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) porous double-bladed disk system. The nanocomposite roto...
It is well known that fabrication processes inevitably lead to defects in the manufactured components. However, thanks to the new capabilities of the manufacturing procedures that have emerged during the last decades, the number of imperfections has...
This work shows a three-dimensional (3D) layerwise model for static and free vibration analyses of functionally graded piezomagnetic materials (FGPM) spherical shell structures where magnetic and elastic fields are completely coupled. The 3D magneto-...
