Thin-walled beams made of laminated composite materials are increasingly used in any
engineering branch where structural weight is one of the major aspects in the design …

This work presents an isogeometric formulation to investigate thermal buckling behavior of
laminated composite folded plates reinforced with graphene platelets (GPLs). The folded …

A corotational flat shell element for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of laminated
composite structures is presented. The element is obtained from the Hellinger–Reissner …

This paper proposes a dynamic instability isogeometric analysis (IGA) of functionally graded
(FG) folded plates strengthened by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) under a uniform in-plane …

The design of lightweight structures is often driven by buckling phenomena. Increasing
demands for fuel-efficient aircraft structures makes post-buckled designs attractive from a …

A mixed quadrilateral 3D finite element, obtained from the Hellinger–Reissner functional, is
presented for linear static and buckling analyses of variable-angle tow (VAT) composite …

In this paper we propose a powerful tool for the evaluation of the initial post-buckling
behavior of multi-layered composite shells and beams in both bifurcation and limit load …

As one of the classical complex multibody structures, Z-shaped folded plates are widely
applied in several engineering structures. In the present paper, the nonlinear vibration …

Recently, a cell-based smoothed discrete shear gap method (CS-FEM-DSG3) based on the
first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) was proposed for static and free vibration …

In the paper the post-buckling behaviour of thin-walled channel cross-section columns made
of Fiber Metal Laminate subjected to an axial compressions is considered. The main interest …
