A review on works that investigate the mechanical behaviour of variable stiffness composite
laminated panels is carried out in this paper. The review mostly focuses on buckling, failure …

With the large-scale adoption of advanced fiber placement technology in industry, it has
become possible to fully exploit the anisotropy of composite materials through the use of …

The nonlinear free and forced vibration analyses of variable stiffness composite laminated
(VSCL) and sandwich shell panels having curvilinear fibres, not yet reported in literature, are …

The aim of this paper is to investigate the dynamic behavior of singly and doubly-curved
panels reinforced by curvilinear fibers. The Variable Angle Tow (VAT) technology allows the …

This study investigates the vibration transmission and energy flow tailoring of variable
stiffness laminated composite (VSLC) plates with curvilinear fibres subjected to harmonic …

The design space for high-performance lightweight composite structures has grown
considerably since the advent of the variable stiffness concept. In fact, variable stiffness …

The development of tow-placement technology has made it possible to control fiber tows
individually and place fibers in curvilinear distinct paths in each layer of a laminated plate …

Compared with traditional composite panels, the modeling, analysis and design of variable-
stiffness panels with curvilinear fibers are much more complicated. Although the design …

Buckling resistance of variable stiffness composite (VSC) plates can be significantly
improved by designing fiber orientation distributions, which affect structural stiffness and …

This study investigates the vibration power flow transmission behavior of laminated
composite plates with a cutout and a variable angle tow (VAT) design. The steady-state …
